bySarah Bunton
If you were lucky enough to grow up in the '90s, then you probably have fond memories of your absolutely rad childhood. You'll also definitely look back with a smile on your face when you remember things you got away with as a '90s kid with a "cool" mom. While other kids were bummed out they couldn't practice their Tony Hawk moves or rock some stellar Moon Shoes, you were living the good life and were probably the envy of all your friends.
Unfortunately, for some kids, their parents totally ruined their lives in the '90s. Most parents were nixing their kids' pleas for everything from activities and outings to purchasing music and trendy fashions. But you didn't have to worry about any of that because you had a cool mom. Long before Lorelai Gilmore become most everyone's #momgoals, you and your mom were BFFs.
In retrospect, maybe you shouldn't have gotten away with as much as you did, but nothing can top the priceless memories and Polaroid pictures you have of your carefree, decidedly chill youth. And chances are, you and your mom are still tight today. So maybe when you're done reminiscing about all the things you got away with in the '90s, you might wanna give your mom a call and let her know how much you appreciate her coolness.
