Theme two

Here are a few things that tell you what decade I grew up in. Parachute pants, pony sneakers, stone washed jeans, Lional Richy, the tail end of Lover Boy. Children played outside and only came in for meals but only after some promises that they could return to their friends when they had eaten. Attari was the big new thing and we came home from school to find our black and white television had been replaced with a new color television. For a few days we sat and watched the new invention and then returned to playing outside.
Parachute pants for those of you to young to remember were kind of a spandex material that everyone was wearing. The pants were so tight that I remember my mother worrying about curculation being cut off. They started in only solid colors and then the really cool ones came out in different designes. The stone wash jeans were very cool and parents thought they looked sloppy (if only they could have seen the jeans wore today kids). Pony sneakers were way cool but only if you had white on white and high tops. Lional Richy and Lover Boy were hot and some kids listed to the hard rock but parents tried to keep children away from the devils music.
Yes I grew up in eighties I know it wasn't that long ago and I am happy to say that the music I listen to I have introduced to my children and they think it is ok but not something they would listen to with their friends around.
The eighties were not the sixties but we had fun and for the most part it was clean fun.
