What childish things do you still enjoy?

Might watch the occasional cartoon.

Last September for the first time in my 46 yrs i had a session in a bouncy castle. Mighty craic. Something I've yet to try is a trampoline. Passed a garden this evening and they had one sunk down into the ground. No fear of it flying off in a storm.
No kids here in case ye're wondering why I haven't done these things long ago.

As a kid I use to hind behind doors & cupboards, waiting patiently for what felt like hours to give a family member a fright by jumping out at them. Still do it now although I usually now get a few digs for my efforts

Cartoon t-shirts, pj's and undies. I have WonderWoman pj's and I do the twirl before launching myself on the bed. I feel it's important to embrace the character.

I've got Barbie 'days of the week' undies and sometimes I wear the ones with the wrong days on so I challenge the accepted wisdom regarding the space/time continuum.

I named my toes.

A little mean but sometimes still laugh if someone falls, so I guess laughing at inappropriate things. I wouldn't let them see me laughing

Last year I went to an inflatable water slide park, absolutely as much fun as it sounds. Anyway there was this slide where you had to do a run up first, then jump on, arms stretched out in front and slide on your belly. 4 or 5 slides together so you can race your friends. There was a group of young ladies going before us and of course the largest lady in the group falls over during her run up while all her friends slide away. I felt so so bad for her, but my god it was torture trying to hold in the laughter, I had to turn away. I'm not one to generally laugh at strangers misfortune because it could easily happen to anyone. But holy **** it was funny.

Still watch cartoons now and then. YouTube is a goldmine for the 80s classics like Mask, Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors, Transformers etc
Transformers Prime (came out a few years back) is well worth a watch. A darker and more mature take on the series, but with enough lines and references to the original 80s cartoon for us old timers.

Still say "Wheee!" whenever I put the foot down to accelerate rapidly in the car (get a nice roar from the engine and it goes very nicely - 3 litre diesel will do that though!)

Still rotate my cereals as I get bored of them. This week it's Wheatabix but think I'll go for Frosties or Crunchy Nut again next.


I think it's good to enjoy things like that sometimes. Modern adult life and work is busy and stressful enough that it helps to forget about it for a while sometimes.

She never said they were kids undies. Adults can get themed undies too you know.

I say fair play to her. I want some too.

I go crazy for bubble wrap, I can't resist the stuff! Every time I am in a quiet park I have to go on the swings. I'm more than a little dismayed that my considerable bottom makes it an uncomfortable fit but it doesn't stop me.

I was mad about soldiers when I was a child and always wanted to be a soldier, so I guess that every day is a childhood day for me.. I still love being a soldier.

I still love climbing tree's and walls.

Eating an Easter Egg was before the big day itself, had a £1 one last night.
Blaming my sister for stuff when we’re both home at Xmas.

Winnie the Pooh, I cried at the trailer for the last movie, no idea why are but he’s a lovable little bollix.

The recent Bumblebee Transformers movie. The first 15 mins alone were better than all the movies before it. Felt like Saturday morning cartoons again.

Infonovice

Kids movies are still my favourite type of movie to watch.


I also sometime give my son a handlebars on his bike.
Him on the handlebars, me cycling. I'm not even like a cool dad, i'm a woman so we probably look bonkers together.


A few weeks ago in Ikea, he asked me could he push me on a trolly around the shop. so if anyone happened to see that scene, it was me!

Given how popular super hero movies are and the hype for Avengers:End Game, I'd say there are a lot of adults out there who still embrace their inner child

I realise reading this that my long long ago childhood was somewhat lacking in .....fun.... Used to love running on beaches and doing cartwheels but alas no more...Will have to think about this!

I wave at random people while passing in a car and pretend I am excited to see them only to be met with bewildered looks and the odd wave back. It still makes me laugh.

I still do this to my missus too. Phone in hand recording to catch her reaction. Many a dig received! Also bought a zombie mask at Halloween to scare the kids knocking on the door for sweets, wore it walking down the stairs one morning to frighten the missus, she got such a fright she started to cry, thought I was a burglar! Oops!

I still get great craic from kicking my way through a pile of fallen leaves. Having grandchildren I can still engage in many childish activities without fear of strange looks or bewilderment.

That's one of my happiest memories with my Grandfather. Kicking our way through the leaves while walking the dog, chatting about the birds and trees or making up stories, and making a point of introducing the dog to any other dogs we'd meet.

I would consider it very childish.

Jumping in muddy puddles. I’m a devil for that.

Tell me how

Animal Slippers at Christmas.
Have a pair of Bear head ones which I think are class. They spend the rest of the year with the decorations.
Brother and I still occasionally tell tales on each other to our Mother like we expect her to step in and adjudicate. (him and I have a combined age of 78 and just to be clear, they are always exaggerated/made up scenarios, we do behave like adults most of the time)

Gummy bears

I like driving through Painstown in Kildare and putting on a wwf voice in my head saying I'M TAKING YOU TO PAINSTOWN! and then giggling like a kid.
It's the simple pleasures...

Tom and Jerry

Sofa picnics and Saturday morning cartoons with a blankie and pillow.

“There are crocodiles in the sitting room, everyone climb on the couch/table/chair!!!”

Added bonus of throwing my daughters teddies in and going to rescue them.

Stovepipe

Watching Tom and Jerry, Bugs Bunny, Pink Panther, old Charlie Chaplin / Buster Keaton / Harold LLoyd movies (saturday morning when I was a kid), the Ant and the Aardvark (Hey, Ant....in a Noo Yawk accent cracks me up). Also, modern cartoons like Pinky and the Brain, Cow and Chicken, Ren and Stimpy are brilliant and subversive!

Going grocery shopping with my Mother when I am down home. Always feel safe then.
