You know you grew up in the 90's if...

You've ever ended a sentence with the word "PSYCHE!"

You know that "WOAH" comes from Joey from "Blossom" and that "How Rude!"comes from Stephanie from "Full House"

You remember when it was actually worth getting up earlyon a Saturday to watch cartoons.

You got super excited when it was Oregon Trail day in computer class at school.

You begged for some GAK, and when you got that they came out with scented GAK, and when you got that they came out with funny scented GAK.....

You remember reading "Goosebumps."

You took plastic cartoon lunch boxes to school. (Mine had "My Little Ponies" on it!)

You remember the craze, then the banning of slap bracelets and slambooks.....

You still get the urge to say "NOT" after (almost) every sentence...Not...

Where in the world is Carmen San Diego? was both a game and a TV game show.

Captain Planet.

You knew that Kimberly, the pink ranger, and Tommy, the green ranger were meant to be together.

When playing Power Rangers with friends you fought over who got to be who............and still all ended up being Tommy.

You remember when Super Nintendo's became popular.

You always wanted to send in a tape to America's Funniest Home Videos... but never taped anything funny.

You remember watching home alone 1, 2 , and 3........and tried to pull the pranks on "intruders"

"I've fallen and I can't get up!"

You remember Stick Stickly on Nickoloden.

You remember going to the skating rink before there were inline skates.

Two words... Trapper Keeper.

You wore socks over leggings scrunched down.

"Miss Mary Mack, Mack, Mack, all dressed in black, black, black, with silver buttons, buttons, buttons, all down her back, back, back...."

You remember boom boxes vs. cd players.

Writing M.A.S.H. notes.

You remember New Kids on The Block when they were cool.

You knew all the characters names and their life stories on "Saved By The Bell."

You played and/or collected "Pogs."

You had at least one Tamagotchi, GigaPet or Nano and brought it everywhere. (I had a Little Mermaid one!)

You watched the original Care Bears, My Little Pony, and Ninja Turtles.

Yikes pencils and erasers were the stuff!

All your school supplies were "Lisa Frank"brand. (I loved the painting panda!)

You remember when the new Beanie Babies and talking Elmo were always soldout.

You used to wear those stick on earings, not only on your ears, but at the corners of your eyes.

You remember a time before the WB.

You've gotten creeped out by "Are You Afraid of the Dark?"

You know the Macarena by heart.

"Talk to the hand" ... enough said.

You always said, "Then why don't you marry it!"

Light up sneakers were cool.

When you rented VHS tapes, not DVDs.

When gas was $0.95 a gallon and Caller ID was a new thing.

When we recorded stuff on VCRs & paid $3.50 for a movie.

When the Chicago Bulls were the best team ever. (Michael Jordan! What little kid didn't pretend to be him?)

Wait Wait....let's not forget OLD NICK shows....Alex Mac (my favorite!), My Brother and Me, Rocko's Modern Life, the ORIGINAL Rugrats, DOUG (another favorite!)!! Cousin Skeeter, HeyArnold, Clarissa Explains it All, The OLD All That, Pete and Pete yeah the OLD nick days ruled.

Who would have thought you'd miss the 90's so much!!!!!

Before we realized all this would eventually disappear.
