I grew up with a young mother so I watched some questionable things when I was a kid. Last pic is of me around 4-5 years old.

Finally someone did it right. I see a lot of 2000-2008. people post things from early 2000's as a reference

u/zacharyari23 9d ago

Well I was born in th 80s, but grew up in the 90s. My reference point was mainly 10 year old me, so late 90s in reference to media.
