Growing up 80s
I like to refer to the 80s as my carefree years.
When 1980 hit, I was 7 or 8, depending on the month I guess. No, the majority of 1980, I was 7 and when November came, I turned 8 so I was only 8 for a month and a half... I think?
WTF! I didn't sign up for this to do math!
Anyway, I left the 80s at the age of 17 (I'm PRETTY sure that's right). During that decade, I was a regular kid (although with the responsibilities of being in charge of 4 younger siblings) lets do a flashback and follow Little Bee through that decade.
80/81
Don't remember much other than my little sister Nancy was born and she pooed ALL THE TIME!
82/83
Uh, little brother Rick was born so we now had two 2 poop machines in the house.
84/85
I started junior high and learned to scale 10 ft fences before the warning bell rang.
86/87
Graduated junior high, started high school and learned to scale 12 ft fences. (was also constantly in trouble for things I will not admit to even now, one million years later!)
88/89
High School, started my senior year even though I kept getting suspended for lewd behavior.
So there you have it, my 80s in a nutshell.
Before I go, I'd like to say that for me, the 80s were all about the music, the hair and the clothes.
Some neon long blouses with leggings dancing to the Go-Go's. Some big word shirts dancing to Wham, Frankie goes to Hollywood and Duran Duran. Crazy lace skirts and off the shoulder shirts dancing to Cyndi Lauper, Pat Benetar and Madonna.
Damn! I did a lot of dancing! No wonder I was so skinny! [doing the "wake me up before you go-go" dance RIGHT NOW]
My music tastes then evolved to Twisted Sister, Gun's n Roses, AC/DC, Metallica, Def Leppard, Motley Crue, Led Zeplin, etc. but I'll always have those carefree, mullet, bright clothes wearing, dancing years.
Roller skates! I was also a great roller skater! Dammit, I could have posted about my awesome flamingo imitaions while skating!

It's too late now to re-do the post...

I do have some naughty growing up 80s stories but those are worth some mula (money) so I'm not sharing unless you can make it worth my while.
