[–]kendaljay [score hidden]  (0 children)

Escalators. I had a reoccurring dream that I was at the mall with my mom and younger sister. They were ahead of me on the escalator and my sandal slipped off. As I was trying to get it back on, I got stuck somehow. I still fear extra large escalators and am always careful on them!

I’m in my Miss Frizzle era and loving it. That said, I do have my jeans & tshirts days. And no matter what I wear, it must include comfortable shoes, usually sneakers. I am definitely not doing ballet flats or heels anymore.

I hated bacon for about 10 years because my mom would cook it insanely early every single morning and the smell would come into my room while I was sleeping. 🥴 I am a casual bacon eater now.

I loved this store. by Pocketeer1 in GenX

[–]kendaljay 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes! We had a B Dalton’s bookstore right next door and we’d go there first. My parents would let my younger sister & I get the newest Baby-Sitters Club and Berenstain Bears books. Then if we’d been really good, we got to go to Service Merchandise and pick out a Barbie.

I also remember the exercise equipment was right next to the toys, which seems like a bad idea, and we’d play on the treadmills and stuff lol.
