You Know You're a 90s kid if . . .

I'm sure the generations before us sort of said the same things about us when we were kids--playing video games for hours, watching all those action shows on TV such as Power Rangers and some of the music we listened to. But in retrospect, the video games we had back then were a lot more fun. It wasn't just shooting and killing, it was either fighting or going on a quest to save the princess. I actually didn't get my first Nintendo system until I was 12 and that was almost 10 years ago now! O_o. I was always so jealous of my friends who had Nintendos/Sega when they were 6 and 7.

Kids now adays act like u owe them something. They would never yell car they stare at you walk their same slow pace and you sit there wanting to run them over. But don't say anything to them cause they talk back. I'm 25 with a 10 yr old sister she drives me nuts. Cell phone Wii dsi I didn't have a cell til I turned 18 not even ten yrs ago. I want to say I wont spoil my kids but if you don't they'll be left out and bullied. I remember when my friend got a 5 cd changer for her house I thought she was so cool.

I wish IMDB had a like button.

I love Jesus Christ and am 100% proud!
