Says I should be a kid of the 60's, in fact I was a kid in the 60's and it was the best time of my life.
got that right should be a kid in the 60's
"You should be a kid in the 1970s
Flared pants, feathered hair and funk! Far out!"
Well, I WAS a kid in the 70's. It wouldn't be the decade I would pick personally though. Hated the fashion and the music. To me the best decade to be a kid was the 80's, and I was still a kid for some of it. But really, any decade before this current one would be the best.

I'm proud to say that I am a 50's kid through and through.
60. Really !!!!
70’s!
You should be a kid in the 1970s. I'll take it.

1970's; MeTV guessed correctly
Kid of the 70's, that's correct.
I got 1960's. I was born in 1970.
I should have been a kid in the sixties? I WAS a kid in the sixties! And in the seventies. When you're born in 1962, that's how it works.
70's I was a kid, but the 80's was good too 👍
I'm definitely a 70s kids (well, more of a teen in that decade), I remember kids bringing Klackers to school in the 7th grade, they were made of glass, then were taken off the market due to shattering. I had some Jackson 5 albums, considered McDonald's a treat (when mom was not feeling well or didn't feel like fixing dinner), loved watching The Brady Bunch on Friday night, and in the Teen Idol category, you missed Donny O. and David C. (and a little bit of Bobby S.!)
A lot of Bobby S(herman) 😉🥰😂
Got the 60's. Was a kid of the 50's.
70’s - I actually grew up then. Lawn JARTS were awesome and they brought them back without the pointy end and made them rounded 😡
60's, we threw lawn darts at each other while eating pop-rocks and drinking soda-pop.
And that's the reason lawn darts were made illegal to sell in most of the country.
You should be a kid in the 1950s!
