#Microblog Monday 501: Childhood Pictures

Not sure what #MicroblogMondays is? Read the inaugural post which explains the idea and how you can participate too.

*******

I’m not sure where I originally saw it, but someone posted a Twitter thread of pictures that represent moments from a 1980s childhood. All except maybe five or six triggered such a clear and happy (or sometimes unhappy) memory from elementary school.

It will likely only be meaningful to kids in the United States, but yes to all of this. This is what childhood in the 80s looked like.

Are you also doing #MicroblogMondays? Add your link below. The list will be open until Tuesday morning. Link to the post itself, not your blog URL. (Don’t know what that means? Please read the three rules on this post to understand the difference between a permalink to a post and a blog’s main URL.) Only personal blogs can be added to the list. I will remove any posts connected to businesses or sponsored posts.

Ummm, a lot of the stuff in the photos posted (or some version of them) would also be applicable to a 1960s/70s childhood too. Just saying…! 😉

Oh man, I’m not on X so I can’t see more than the finger tracing the cinderblock seam in a hall. My classroom STILL has a cinderblock wall (and two pegboard walls). I think somewhere we have a hallway where I could do this! I wish I could see the others, I bet it’s awesome. There HAS to be a metal lunchbox in there (my first one was Lassie).
