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.
Me too!
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 😅
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.
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!
Sleeping with a teddy bear
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
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.
Honestly being hyper and energetic all the time. Maybe it’s not necessarily childish but people are always surprised to learn I’m in my thirties because I don’t look/act like a lifeless zombie.
Childfree gang?
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)
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.
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.
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.
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?
Chicken fingers 😣
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
YA Novels can be good -- such an easy, engaging story. I really enjoyed the "I am Number Four" and "Jumper" series-es.
I thought there would be more, but nothing else is coming to mind.
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.
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 can’t 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
Sword is the one I tried out and I did not like it at all. How does Scarlet compare to it?
My son bought me a flamingo squishmallow and it’s the best!! Also, Pokémon Go
Love this topic! I'm with you on the YA novels, sometimes I just like an easier read, and does loving Harry Potter count?
Blowing on dandelions and watching the seeds float away.
Responsible adults don't propagate weeds.
Dandelions are often the only flowers available for wildlife.
There's a lot of things. One easy one is I enjoy coloring in. And I really like teddy bears.
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
My daughter has a stuffed fox that I genuinely like to cuddle with when she lets me.
😅 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.
I actually just started watching Avatar for the first time and I'm 35. Also been playing a game called Rumble. It's just like being an earth bender. Super fun, and I'm also really enjoying the show. I think I'll moved on to the legend of Korra after I finish.
At 33, I rather enjoy watching people play minecraft on youtube.
I enjoy shirking my responsibilities and doing nothing, if I can help it.
sound effects with my mouth....engine noises, explosions, etc
