You had rubber boots for rainy days and Moon boots for snowy days. YEAH!
You owned a "Slip-n-Slide",on which you injured yourself on a sprinkler head more than once.
You owned "Klick-Klacks" and smacked yourself in the face more than once.

You wore a poncho, gauchos, and knickers.
You begged Santa for the electronic game, Simon.
You had the Donnie and Marie dolls with those pink and purple satiny shredded outfits.

You and your girlfriends would fight over which of the Dukes of Hazzard was your boyfriend.
YOU had Star Wars action figures, too!
It was a big event in your household each year when the "Wizard of Oz" would come on TV. Your mom would break out the popcorn and sleeping bags!
You often asked your Magic-8 ball the question: "Who will I marry. Shaun Cassidy, Leif Garrett, or David Cassidy...?"
You completely wore out your Grease, Saturday Night Fever, and Fame soundtrack record album.
You tried to do lots of arts and crafts, like yarn and Popsicle-stick God's eyes, decoupage, or those weird potholders made on a plastic loom.
You made Shrinky-Dinks and put iron-on kittens on your t-shirts!
You used to tape record songs off the radio by holding your portable tape player up to the speaker.
You had subscriptions to Dynamite and Tiger Beat.
You learned everything you needed to know about girl issues from Judy Blume books. (Are you there God? It's me, Margaret.)

You wore friendship pins on your tennis shoes, or shoelaces with heart or rainbow designs.
You wanted to be a Solid Gold dancer.
You drowned yourself in Love's Baby Soft - which was the first "real" perfume you ever owned .. .
You glopped your lips in Strawberry roll-on lip gloss until it almost dripped off.
How many applied to you???

Well let's see here...I was born December of '63...Oh, what a night, late December back in '63. What a very special time for me. As I remember what a night!
Sorry, got carried away with a Four Season's song... 
Anyhow, yeah, I guess I was a kid in the 70's...and as Ynot said, most of these are for da girls...
You owned a bicycle with a banana seat and a plastic basket with flowers on it.
Yes, I did own a bicycle with a  seat, but no basket or pink flowers. Extended forks and baseball cards in the spokes, yeah, I was cool! 
You learned to skate with actual skates (not roller blades) that had metal wheels.
Nope, still don't know how to...as I've never tried.
You had nightmares after watching Fantasy Island.
Yep, that little dude Tattoo....I always thought he was the boogie-man under my bed!
You had rubber boots for rainy days and Moon boots for snowy days.
Nope, had neither...wore cowboy boots all year round. Still do...mamma says she thinks I was born in'em.
You owned a "Slip-n-Slide",on which you injured yourself on a sprinkler head more than once.
Actually I never owned one until later on in my adult life, and it wasn't to slip-n-slide across. It was used for some kinky sex... 
You had either a "bowl cut" or "pixie," not to mention the "Dorothy Hamill". People sometimes thought you were a boy.
Actually I had what they later called in the 80's...a mullet. Some say I still do... Guess I was "in" before "in" was in, and now I'm out while out is still out.
You had the Donnie and Marie dolls with those pink and purple satiny shredded outfits.
Actually, like Ash...I too had all 4 KISS dolls. However, I had'em kickin' Kens, and GI-Joes asses!
You wanted your first kiss to be at a roller rink!
Nope, I wanted my 1st kiss to be in a spook house, like those at a carnival...and it was! 
You carried a Muppets lunch box to school and it was metal, not plastic. With the thermos inside!
Nope, had a KISS one however, and a Hot Wheels one as well...
You completely wore out your Grease, Saturday Night Fever, and Fame soundtrack record album.
GAWD NO! Never even had those albums, nor would I! I did however, wear out Ted Nugent's self-titled debut album! ('75) And my Frampton Comes Alive! ('76) album!  
You made Shrinky-Dinks and put iron-on kittens on your t-shirts!
Nope, I got into those Shrunken Head kits...

You owned a bicycle with a banana seat and a plastic basket with flowers on it. Yup it was a horrible combo of 70's orange pink and brown 
You owned a "Slip-n-Slide",on which you injured yourself on a sprinkler head more than once. Got a new one every summer. My back yard had a hill in it that made the grass burn at the end so much better
Your hairstyle was described as having "wings" or "feathers" and you kept it "pretty" with the comb you kept in your back pocket Ok so I cant help it if I have natural waves.
YOU had Star Wars action figures, too! I didn't but my friend had ALL of them
