If you're a child of the 80's...

Hmmm...I'll have to watch it again :)

EDIT: LOL, it's not that hard to spot when you're looking for it. It's right behind Johnny when he's blowdrying his hair.

I saw A show curtain but not THE shower curtain I thought it was red with white polka dots
 
I stand corrected!

I did, however, find it :)

It's in the fight scene at the end, you can see it jumping up and down in the crowd and it IS red with white polka dots.

There's a good shot of it at the 6:17 mark.
 
That would be 'infant-toddler of the 80's' dude. ;)

I definitely am a child of the 80's, was 7 in 1980 and nearly an adult by 1990. And I've never ever considered myself to be 'generation X', I just don't fit that profile at all. :) I wonder if there is a quiz somewhere to determine whether one should be properly classified as a child of the 80's?
