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 😅
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)
rocking on a swing 😁
sound effects with my mouth....engine noises, explosions, etc
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?
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.
ATLA is awesome. Worth enjoying at any age.
I've got a decent collection of stuff animals. They're nice.
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.
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
Cartoons/ animation. I'll never grow out of it.
Blowing on dandelions and watching the seeds float away.
Responsible adults don't propagate weeds.
Well actually... Dandelions have a job. They soften the soil where it has become too dense.
Dandelions are often the only flowers available for wildlife.
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'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.
Minecraft, though i'd like to see a child tangle with GregTech xD
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.
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
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!
I like avatar as well. I watch it and Digimon occasionally.. and I love YA books as well.
😅 Coloring books. Dino nuggies. Chocolate milk. Cartoons. Plushies. Fairy tales.
Also, ATLA is amazing no matter what age you are 🤩
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
You're all just being human. You're not childish, just being human.
I enjoy shirking my responsibilities and doing nothing, if I can help it.
My son bought me a flamingo squishmallow and it’s the best!! Also, Pokémon Go
I thought there would be more, but nothing else is coming to mind.
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
Words like fart, poop, boobies, etc.
I love my stuffed toys and old cartoons because its much more simpler. Also, shoujo manga (which I'd die before i admit irl)
There is nothing childish about loving Avatar the last Airbender. Every time I watch it I feel like a part of the target audience.
