For me, it's sticking my hand out of the window of a moving car. Whether I'm driving or not, I love having the windows down and waving my hand in the wind. I've loved it since I was a child and I'll never stop doing it!

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.

I still play with my old Legos, albeit very rarely.

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.

[โ€“] Kreg@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[โ€“] zanyllama52@infosec.pub 8 points 1 year ago

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.

[โ€“] rjh@beehaw.org 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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!

[โ€“] quinnly@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 year ago

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.

~Iโ€™ve~ ice cream for dinner!

Edit: not straight cream. Do even kids do that??

[โ€“] ferrent22@midwest.social 7 points 1 year ago

Leave the marshmallows to the end when I eat Lucky Charms... And still eating kid's cereal for breakfast.
