Every so often I still indulge in the "don't step on the cracks" game while walking along the street :-)
I literally did this just yesterday walking to the car from work. Then I had to figure out what actually constitutes as a "crack" and what is just a "purposeful indent' in the sidewalk. I decided that the indents that separate the squares in the sidewalk do not actually count as cracks and its ok to step on those.
I've been thinking about getting some stuff from my childhood again. I recently watched We're Back on YouTube and while the movie is not great, it has a great charm, which has been making me think of getting the VHS tapes I used to have as a kid.
Aside from that movie, I'm also thinking of getting The Brave Little Toaster Goes to Mars, Anastasia, The Jungle Book, and Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
Cartoons/ animation. I'll never grow out of it.
Chocolate milk.
I was really bummed out when I developed lactose intolerance, but I was shocked by how good the Silk Dark Chocolate soy one was.
Also found some brands sell it lactose free here, but unfortunately they're harder to come across in stores.
Dino shaped chicken nuggets
Got into Lego again a few years ago. It definitely has changed a lot since I was a kid in the previous millennium.
Switching song lyrics for immature lines.
Jingle bells, Batman smells...
Jumping in puddles. I almost never get the chance anymore, but if I have boots on and there's a puddle YOU BEST BE PREPARED
Yes. I can get behind this.
- Magic School Bus. To this day there are a dozen episodes that cross my mind all the time.
- What my father calls "crap pasta" β animal or cartoon shaped noodles in a sauce that's 40% salt.
I thought there would be more, but nothing else is coming to mind.
Blowing on dandelions and watching the seeds float away.
Responsible adults don't propagate weeds.
Dandelions are often the only flowers available for wildlife.
Pretending to use The Force to open automatic doors.
Oh, it isnβt just me thenβ¦
Sleeping with a teddy bear
Nothing wrong with sleeping with stuff animals.
I should probably get one seeing how I often end up just hugging the blanket when I sleep.
I vaguely recall an article linked on the SITE THAT SHALL NOT BE NAMED that something like 40% of adults sleep with a stuffed animal or comfort object
As a young lad I loved and used my skateboard daily as transportation.
Now I've taken up slow longboard cruising and having a blast!
Haynow, Avatar isn't "childish!" It is super cool and everycritter loves it :P
I like American Girl dolls!
I'm a similar age and my wife and I have just started watching the PokΓ©mon cartoons (they're on netflix!). She's seen them before but I never have and it's great.
Similarly we watched Phineas and Ferb and it was great.
I enjoy shirking my responsibilities and doing nothing, if I can help it.
Doing engine sound with my mouth
Skipping rocks. If I'm near a body of water and there's a flat stone anywhere near me in 100% skipping that thing. This never gets old
There's a distinction between child-ish and child-like. So far I haven't seen anyone say they enjoy anything child-ish (except maybe alternative song lyrics?), but all the lovely child-like responses warm my heart. I eat "sugar cereal" for dessert. Because I'm an adult and I can. Also, I make up silly songs all the time and talk to myself and my cats in silly voices.
Minecraft, though i'd like to see a child tangle with GregTech xD
Coloring. I don't do it very often, but I always feel better after I do. Apparently it's a recommended activity for mental health: Mayo Clinic: Coloring is good for your health
I'm quite childish. Still play video games, still watch cartoons more than live-action shows, still eat (now sugar-free) candy. What's going to happen? Are the grown-up police going to break into my house and demand that I turn in my adulting license and my pubes?
Love this topic! I'm with you on the YA novels, sometimes I just like an easier read, and does loving Harry Potter count?
Pokemon games. I played all the games up to the Gameboy Advanced, missed the DS and have purchased all of the switch games. My wife and I actually buy both versions of each game so we can trade and battle.
What do you think about the modern games? I canβt get into them
Not the person you asked but I had a blast playing Scarlet even though I didn't really like Sword all that much
Riding on the shopping cart like a scooter
Yes! I get many looks. Here's a late-thirties man with a bald head, gleefully grinning like a maniac while careening wildly down the parking lot aisle on a squeaky four-wheeled vehicle meant for vittles.
You're all just being human. You're not childish, just being human.
