So, as I think back about what I read and come up with a short list: lots of Babysitters Club, Sweet Valley High, and some way too early for my age Danielle Steele, it's making sense... This is just a list of some of my favorite movies in the 80's. I was literally raised by the television in the 80's, in my dad's room on the floor watching these movies or in the living room. Wow, either I was really stunted or really exposed. Not sure which. But this is sort of stunning to recall.

Kind of sickening... I was part of the pop culture in a major way, but this is precious time I can't get back... hmm. Involved parenting can be a good thing.
