21 Times 'Full House's Michelle Tanner Spoke To Us

It's a mostly true fact that '90s kids basically grew up with Michelle Tanner from Full House. She was the ultimate little sister and voice of reason to all. And, although Michelle was the youngest of the clan, she definitely shouldn't be written off as just the cute little sis. She was perhaps the wisest of the Tanner household and really never held back. In so many ways, she just understood fans. Looking back at her antics 20 years later, I'm realizing that Michelle Tanner from Full House is relatable now just like she was then.

Michelle had a way of being completely endearing — with the help of that cute little voice — while assertively standing her ground at the same time. Goals. Her approval would simply be marked by the iconic, "You got it, dude," and, when she wasn't putting up with something, she'd simply say, "Aw, nuts." In fact, she'd have no problem just flat-out asking people if they were crazy. She was pint-sized and uninhibited, unafraid to speak her mind. Not to mention the fact that Michelle would show an ice cream sundae who was boss, got away with nearly everything, and could bless someone with her affection at the drop of a hat.

Although Michelle would definitely be killing it these days, her younger self was already an idol. Here are times I've realized she was truly the real-life soul sister fans never had.
