For me, I’m nearly 40 and I really love Avatar the last Airbender, reading YA novels, and sometimes I make pasta with fun shapes, just because I can.
What do you enjoy?
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.
Yes, but you’re liable to break your dad’s spine that way.
It’s a habit at this point. Mentally I know it won’t break my mama’s back, but emotionally… emotionally, I -have- to step over it 😅
Me too!
Gotta protect your momma’s back!
Switching song lyrics for immature lines.
Jingle bells, Batman smells…
🎶Robin laid an egg🎵
Got into Lego again a few years ago. It definitely has changed a lot since I was a kid in the previous millennium.
I also got back into Lego. I’m early 20s, so the sets of my childhood weren’t that different from what’s being made now.
But it is cool to finally have the Death Star and Millennium Falcon like middle school me fantasized about.
I love avatar the last airbender too. I haven’t found a show like it since. Besides that, I still like anime (though less nowadays because of some sexist parts)
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.
Late 20s here, same!
Pretending to use The Force to open automatic doors.
Oh, it isn’t just me then…
Sleeping with a teddy bear
Nothing wrong with sleeping with stuff animals.
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
I should probably get one seeing how I often end up just hugging the blanket when I sleep.
Dino shaped chicken nuggets
Yes!
Been thinking about getting the McCain smile fries at the store for a while now. Do you ever get weird looks from the cashier, or do they not care?
They don’t care, at worst they just assume you’re buying them for a kid. It takes a lot more than that for a cashier to even notice.
So go get some smiles, those things are delicious.
sound effects with my mouth…engine noises, explosions, etc
😅 Coloring books. Dino nuggies. Chocolate milk. Cartoons. Plushies. Fairy tales.
Also, ATLA is amazing no matter what age you are 🤩
I am a 38-year-old adult and I love Tamagotchis. Also Pokemon, anime, comic books, stickers, sitting on the floor, and using the shower wand as a microphone.
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.
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?
There’s a lot of things. One easy one is I enjoy coloring in. And I really like teddy bears.
My daughter has a stuffed fox that I genuinely like to cuddle with when she lets me.
I love coloring! And now I can afford all the cool sharpies since I’m an adult.
But now you have to pay those cool sharpies with your own money, which is a bit of a tradeoff
It just means that I don’t have to share them 😂
Stuffed animals in general are dope.
Stuffed animals and fun shaped foods/objects. I want the Super Mario macaroni to go with my Dino nuggets so my stuffies and I can have a nice dinner.
