your mom comes home from target and shows you your new shirts.
you are pretty stoked over them actually, showing off to your sisters.
“these are cool! thanks mom!”
you put them on, marching around, rubbing your hands all over your stomachs.
when suddenly, you look at each other, then at me, point to the design on the tshirt, and say,
“but what are these?”
Hahaha,
but even kids of the nineties know what those are!
HAH!
I recently asked a friend when was the last time they made a mix tape.
– Just the other day, they replied.
– Really? With a cassette tape and everything?
– Oh. Uh, no.
I really miss those things.
You know you are not a child of the eighties when you actually like something your Mum bought for you,lol.
Love the tees, ah, so many memories.
Oh man… my kids wouldn’t know what those are either!
lol. cool tees.
No way! Say it isn’t so! They didn’t know what they were…Ha! Man, i’m old……
CUTE T’s! A target JUST opened 5 min. away from me. HAPPY DAY!!!
Oh, this is very cute! Big fan of your blog but I don’t think I have ever left a comment – I will have to make a trip to Target very soon ! thanks for the share!
Now, that’s funny! I can picture it too. That makes it even funnier.
Loving those shirts and the boys. but I haven’t looked in that section. Jake needs clothes so badly. Perhaps a trip to Target is in order. love ya
I feel SO old.
Thats Awesome!!!
OMG, that is so hilarious. I used to have one of those gigantic boomboxes in 8th grade.. and I still have all the tapes filled w/ songs recorded off the radio… =D
funny! I was just talking to my husband yesterday about how I was 6 when my family got a VCR and he was like 15 when they came out. I also remember having a microwave when they first came out too.
makes you feel old, doesn’t it?
Oh my goodness! That one made me LOL! They seriously don’t know what they are? Quick! Head to your nearest thrift store and pick up a tape of Cindy Lauper or Duran Duran! They must be educated…or not!
That is the BEST ever!
LOL!! that is too funny!
ah yes, boom boxes and cassette tapes…takes me right back. i’ll never forget when i was in 7th grade, walking along with my boom box jammin’. the handle broke, and my beloved boom box hit the sidewalk and busted to pieces. tragic day in my life, lol! cool tees!!
Ok do you remember when you would sit there with your hand hovering over the record button waiting for the dj to play “the song” you were waiting for??? too cool. love the shirts and your kiddos!
oh how funny! i’m definitely a child of the 80s and my DS wouldn’t have a clue what those are either. :):)does that mean i’m getting old? :)
LOL! That’s hilarious. I love those shirts!
LMAO…..oh dude, I am a child of the early 70’s! I had my Michael Jackson and Donna Summer on record….
Those shirts (and the kids who are wearing them) ROCK!
I love them! We had a yard sale last week and while going through drawers and cabinets looking for things to sell I found a box of my old mix tapes! My kids and I have been rocking out to them all week in the car (which thank goodness has both the CD and tape player!)! So fun!!!
Oh Tara that is SOOOO funny and adorable! My husband just got back from Target darn!!!
ETA: Do you know one of the best things though about the new technology? I spent YEARS of my childhood rewinding tapes and trying to write down lyrics only to be singing the wrong songs until computers came along and I could actually look up lyrics and see what I SHOULD have been singing!
this cracked me up. i can just imagine their confusion… thanks for the laugh!
hahahaha that is great!
LOL. I love it :)
P.S – What are the dates for the “Find Yourself” trip? I doubt I can make it since I have a million frickin’ shoots until mid-December, but just thought I would ask.
Damn….and Thailand is my DREAM vacation spot :( Arrgh.
lol – too funny!
those are so cool Tara!!!
I had to laugh because I just bought my son the shirt with the old Atari controllers on it & he had the same reaction!
Those are EXCELLANT shirts! Do they come in a 3? hehe.
WE still listen to tapes in our car, Kaya thinks they are hilarious, we like to think we’re bringin him up old school
OMG!!! That’s soooo funny. Ha ha ha…do they even make cassettes any more??
OMG I feel soo old now. :P
it’s after 1:00 in the morning here and I am laughing way too loud, but I can’t help it, THAT was awesome!!
that is SO true!! My kids don’t even recognize a VHS. Your kids look awesome. I LOVE the processing on these.
Those are little plastic slices of heaven. They allowed you to record music off the radio, and.. you had to be super quick with the PAUSE button on Record/Play otherwise you got the announcers voice. ha. If it was entirely announcer free you could proudly present it at school for your friend to borrow and copy.. I remember being crushed when my friend recorded over A with her B.. no wonder I no longer speak to her! ha. Hey.. maybe she is on facebook?
thanks for the laugh Tara!
that is so funny! as my husband and i were just listening to the presidential debates on the radio tonight, our kids were looking at their stereo (which usually only plays their lullabies at night), and wondering how that other sound was coming out. they don’t even know what the radio is, with cd’s and ipods these days! great shirts!
OH. MY. GOSH!!! i’m offically OLD!!!! LOL!! this gave me such a laugh, i had to show my hubby, who also had a good laugh :) i can’t believe it!
holy crap that makes me feel old!!!
ROLLING. seriously rolling.
that is just wrong! :)
i live in okinawa, japan right now. while we were at an off-base salon getting pedicures, my 6-year-old daughter picked up a postcard promoting a dj at a local club. It was in the shape of a record. she lifted it up and loudly asked, “what is THIS?” every woman in the place laughed hysterically.
back in the states my husband was deployed and we’d make videos for him. she demanded to see the video right away so i grabbed the input cable and plugged the camcorder into the tv. she was getting impatient, “i wanna see it NOW!”
“hold on, baby – i have to rewind first!”
“……what’s rewind?”
yeah, you and your dvd-watching ipod-listening self wouldn’t have any clue, would you??
love this. love the shirts. love YOU, tara!!
*giggles*
i totally am not old (but maybe am in denial) and was sad to hear this. when i was in h.s. a teacher of mine told me that her son didn’t know what tapes were (what?). i was still using them in my car. nuts. i could understand records at that point- my dad was heavily into them, so i was kind of a rare person who actually USED them regularly (sort of- i was pretty young, and there was a no-touching rule :) ha)
so funny that they liked something they didn’t even know what it was.
OMG so funny. What a great story!
Uf! That makes me feel that 3 in front of my age a little more. Adorable none the less.
Oh my…we are soooo dated girl…hahahahaha!!! :)
LOL!
that’s hilarious!!!!!!!
those boys are TOO CUTE!
tara
Too funny that they did not know what “they” were!!!
That’s hilarious. When I was a kid, it was embarassing to wear “Target clothes.” Now I can’t live without that store.
Hey – Drew and I are twins!!! I bought the same shirt recently. hee.
Your boys are gorgeous! Hope they’re doing great in school, etc.
