Is this not the weirdest sh*t? "Sorry little Johnny but you suck at spelling and now that man is dead." Just limb by limb, his head in a noose, hanging in a gallows, the pressure building on poor little school children to choose wisely on the next letter. Not for cash and prizes like Wheel of Fortune, but so you don't hang a man to his death. . Was he innocent? Was he guilty? What did he do? Why did he have to hang for little Johnny's terribly phonics skills? And we did this at SCHOOL. And I was only today years old when I saw this tweet and thought about how weird this is, lol. . What else was weird about growing up in the 80s and 90s? Name some. Like... remember ashtrays in cars? Even in the doors, in the back? Wild. . #storyteller #lifeisastory #lifeiswhatyoumakeit #80skids #90skids #genx #generationx #40something #eldermillennial #growingupinthe80s #bornin1980 #80saesthetic #80snostalgia #memelife #earlyliteracy #schoolstuff #schoolstories #learningtoread #hangman #growingupinthe80s #80sbaby https://www.instagram.com/p/CSwyCRYlX57/?utm_medium=tumblr

It’s suddenly hit me that my late brother had a lot to answer for. 100% his fault that his 7 year old sister knew all the words to TPau’s China In Your Hand because he played it to death! Also around 7, I knew a solid 50% of Janet Jackson’s Control album by heart. Children of the 80s, what a time, such appropriate lyrics for a little innocent girl. 🙊😱

#flashbackfriday. I have no recollection of when this pic was taken but I would venture to say maybe around 1987, I would have been around 11 years old. I think based on my attire that I was probably getting ready to leave for church. I grew up in a little Assemblies of God church on the back side of Azle,TX. I encountered Jesus in a real and powerful way and met my #lifelong #bffs Sandra @sandra_mimes & Mandy @mandyburnscrum. We’ve been in each other’s life for 35 years! #ilovemylife #growingupinthe80s #friendsarefriendsforever (at Springtown, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-0WWXMp52c/?igshid=w9h58dynovd3
