You know your an 80’s child when . . .
Talking about all those old 80’s cartoons kinda got me nostalgic. So, I dug through my computer for this. I must offer a disclaimer that part of this list was lifted off the net and other parts were added by friends of mine and myself. I do not feel stylish with biker shorts under my skirt, nore did I ever have a crush on one of the Coreys (Haim or Feldman). That out of the way:

– You had a crush on one of the New Kids on the Block members.
