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?
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.
Haha same! And shuffling through drifts of leaves in the fall.
I would feel this more, except that I now know how much stray cat shit is in my leaves and I just can’t 🫠
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.
Hard same. Can’t sleep properly without 'em.
Pretending to use The Force to open automatic doors.
Oh, it isn’t just me then…
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!
- Bluey, Legos, cold hotdogs.
😅 Coloring books. Dino nuggies. Chocolate milk. Cartoons. Plushies. Fairy tales.
Also, ATLA is amazing no matter what age you are 🤩
This comment could’ve been written by me, haha! I loved the revival of coloring books in the past few years, there’s so many options now.
You’re all just being human. You’re not childish, just being human.
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)
YA Novels can be good – such an easy, engaging story. I really enjoyed the “I am Number Four” and “Jumper” series-es.
Got into Lego again a few years ago. It definitely has changed a lot since I was a kid in the previous millennium.
Dino shaped chicken nuggets
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?
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.
- Magic School Bus. To this day there are a dozen episodes that cross my mind all the time.
- What my father calls “crap pasta” — 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.
Well actually… Dandelions have a job. They soften the soil where it has become too dense.
Also every part of the dandelion is edible.
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.
My daughter has a stuffed fox that I genuinely like to cuddle with when she lets me.
Stuffed animals in general are dope.
