a bit weird, as a kid I developed a habit of making "tape swords" by taking a long piece of clear tape and rolling it into a thin tube. I still do if if I find myself with a roll of tape, it's a good fidgeting tool.

The swings.
Some of my fondest memories are of swings. Not just from childhood either. I vividly remember an intense session in university, and another from only a few years back was special for a variety of reasons. And now, my daughter is just old enough to really start appreciating them. I don't think I'll stop swinging until I'm incapable.
I always wanted a cat, but my parents never let me. Now I have two, and getting a third.
Also, I always wanted to wear colourful, pastel jfashion or edgy goth clothes, but I had neither the money or the style and now I wear both daily (sometimes at the same time, I guess)
Also dessert as dinner, video games whenever and playing Simba with the cats.
I like to crawl up stairs on all 4s when no-one is home.
I go into puddles on purpose
I (47) still watch a lot of animation. Teen and up. Go back to Looney Toons now and again as well.
During spring time when snow is melting I like to dig small ditches to drain puddles and watch the water flow. Some of my mountain bike trips take twice as long because I can't help but stop for every nice puddle
EDIT: Also run! From my house to car or shed to house etc. I could walk but running is faster and more fun. I don't get why adults only run to excersice.
Handstands in the pool, 37 here
I like jumping in water puddles, been doing it for decades but I recently moved to a winter rainfall area so haven't had the balls
Jump in puddles. I'll never stop.
Singing made-up songs.
I don't think I ever really stopped being a child, cuz I still do pretty much everything I did when I was 10. lol
I watch cartoons, I play with toys (mostly Lego) and video games, I blow dandelions, I do the hand out the window thing in a car, I'll dress up like a ninja and prowl around in the dark, etc.
Edit: Reading this a second time, makes it sound like I am Charlie from It's Always Sunny...
Blowing soap bubbles and accidently spilling half of the fluid.
Snowmen. Still build one whenever there is snow.
This is more of a highschool childish, but occasionally I like to smoke weed and stay up till 3am playing video games. Then call in sick for work the next day of course
Sprinting down hotel hallways in my socks
I play pretend, two hand touch football, Frisbee, study ant hills, build snow forts, sandcastles, etc. Who said being an adult meant no fun would be had?
ITT: people climbing their stairs like a 4 legged animal
A few months ago, I was outside blowing bubbles with my 4 year old. She moved on to something else, but I kept it up for a while. I forgot how fun it is to watch them fly off and see how far they go!
As spring come, breaking down the ice crust that forms near the sidewalk.
Since I was a kid I've always run up and down flights of stairs and continue to this day. It is fun, it's a workout and I find walking far too slow.
One thing I do that I have since I can remember is triple cut the slices on a frozen pizza so that each slice is a single bite. Makes the pizza extra good!
I jump up and touch the top of the doorframe when I'm passing through a door. Not every time. But probably more than half the time.
~Iโve~ ice cream for dinner!
Edit: not straight cream. Do even kids do that??
Leave the marshmallows to the end when I eat Lucky Charms... And still eating kid's cereal for breakfast.
