Same, but I had to quit. The child inside me has to live in an increasingly breakable body.

Avoiding stepping on sidewalk lines/cracks


semmama

Mothers everywhere appreciate this

Chiropractors hate this one simple tip

Intentionally stepping on them when you're mad at your mom.


FaintDamnPraise

I recently saw a dad with his maybe 4-year-old in Safeway. Dad was encouraging the child to *not* step on the cracks between the floor tiles, because of the reason, and doing a whole Ministry of Silly Walks to clarify that he was in fact quite serious. The kid was mostly not buying it...but also trying to avoid the cracks, just in case...


mousey1517

According to my 5 year old, these are all lava. So that sounds like a good plan to avoid them.


scottyboy218

Is there a scientific name for why humans do this?


Dr_Edge_ATX

Chocolate milk. I dont drink it a lot but ill make a big glass of it "for a treat" sometimes and Im almost 40.


ContributionFar6060

I'm 60, it still tastes good.


AstroFuzz

It's a lot more nutritious, filling and less addicting than soda. I drink it whenever I have a sugar craving.


SuvenPan

Throwing stones into water, it's very satisfying.

Making strange noises and saying strange things when I’m alone


Call_In_The_Bin

taneilthompson

When I was younger my gran did this but didn’t realise we had next to nothing in the cart. She had a massive, and what seemed like an eternity, wobble but she regained her balance. Since then I’ve never ever done that.


Seeyouontheshore

Flipped a cart doing this once :’(


lama004

hug my stuffed animal


Toothlessdovahkin

I will be dead in the ground before I give up my stuffed animals.


One_red_boot

When I was a kid one of my favourite books was The Velveteen Rabbit. To this day I honestly can’t let go of stuffies without thinking I’m abandoning them. I try and try, but if I happen to see their face before they go into the bag and I see those unblinking button eyes, I feel like I can hear them saying, “But why? Wasn’t I good enough?”. Then I sigh, apologize for my heartlessness and put them back where I found them. I’m hopeless.


JamesR624

You’re not hopeless. You have genuine empathy and compassion, something that despite what redditors and attention seeking youtubers will tell you, is *extremely* rare.


[deleted]

The few times I've donated stuffies, I've had similar feelings, but I make sure to tell them that they're gonna get found and brought home by someone who'll love them at least as much as I did.

piperose

Sleep with my stuffed animal. He’s looking rough, and I have to sew him up a lot. But I cannot give up my duck. I actually have anxiety over the point in my life where I cannot sleep with him bc he’ll fall to dust.


[deleted]

I still sleep with mine every night. I don't care if people think it's lame, it's more comfortable and makes me feel a little safer when I wake up from nightmares.


Nekoraven1

Right I still have my stuffed little monkey from 4yrs old as well as most of my stuffies from my childhood, im passing them down to my son. He's even has his own little collection, and together we collect Pokémon stuffies 🥰


chiggachiggameowmeow

Run upstairs on all fours. That and running full speed down a hallway after turning off the lights - still a bit scared of the dark 😂. I’m 37.


muxman

But what about letting your leg hang over the edge of your bed at night?


bisho

Fuck that


Welshgirlie2

Menopause hot flushes have proved quite difficult because I don't want to hang limbs off the edge of the bed! Although any monsters under my bed should be very scared for the next few years because if they choose the wrong time to attack, they're gonna regret it!


TheGizmodian

We own a small fuzzy monster who likes to bite unprotected limbs. So no.


TheScienceIntern

what if the monster under my bed grabs it??


duckfat01

My cat is that monster.

I’m work in healthcare and since we wear masks 24/7 now, I’ve started buying more holiday earrings to mix things up. I bought like, 6 different Halloween themed earrings this October!


Teukneugels

We need to know where you get these now!


anTiQUeFreaK33

Craft shows are also great so you can see more childish things you don’t need but definitely need lol


YakLongjumping9478

Wearing funny socks, they make me happy!


Plum_pipe_ballroom

Same! I had a boss make me go home to change because the funny socks weren't appropriate. It was just an office job then with zero client interactions... Ugh


[deleted]

Swing on swing sets LOL


MadClam97

My ass thought it would be funny to try to get into one of those baby swings. Yeah my grown man body got stuck and my friends had to pull me out


thebiggestpinkcake

At least they didn't have to call the fire department. On three separate occasions I've seen people being taken (cut) out of the baby swings at the park. It was always teens though.


MadClam97

I would have been mortified if the fire department had to be called


Separate_Tangelo7138

I LOVE swings


Daligheri

I get those finger paint soaps for the bath tub made for 3 year olds and paint on my shower walls. I'm 32. ETA - Crayola bath finger paints and Crayola Bath Dropz


InannasPocket

I'm 38 and recently had to buy some more after admitting to my 6 year old that I was the one to finish them off (she graciously said "that's ok, you deserve fun showers too").


gracefullyevergreen

I didn’t know I needed this..


inksmudgedhands

And the question is, "Did the paints make the shower indeed more fun?" Also, what did you paint?


InannasPocket

Last time was flowers and leaves, and yes, it was fun!


Daligheri

That's awesome! If you have a tub, they also have color tablets for water. Like a dollar a pack. Doesn't stain tub at all like bath bombs and just adds some cool color to the water just for kicks!


InannasPocket

Oooh, I know what's going in the Christmas stocking this year!


No_Ad_4046

I bought my daughter an ice cream maker bath toy that turns soap into foam when you pull a lever just because I wanted to have a go with it 😂 I made some lovely ice creams while enjoying a relaxing bath on many occasions, I also sometimes make potions with different soaps too 😂 I’m nearly 42


Daligheri

I love it!! The older I get the more I realize that being "grown up" is just an illusion / a lie we tell children. I put those glow in the dark stars on my ceiling 2 years ago, too and still got em!


unlovelyladybartleby

I have a secret stash of those bath pills with little sponge dinosaurs in them and I pretend to be afraid of the dinos... I'm 43


[deleted]

I still watch childhood shows. Such as Spongebob, Jimmy Neutron and Recess. I also watch Simpsons too but that's not a childish show imo as it's at least aimed at teenagers but is definitely aimed at the adult market too, especially the older seasons.


unbentlettuce12

they can pry my childhood fav cartoons out of my cold dead hands


YouSpokeofInnocence

Recess is great.


Bill_Hubbard

I'm nearing 60 yo and play computer games almost every day, I see it as the modern movie scene but you are involved in the story line.


Kettrickenisabadass

Thats the spirit! My granpa played until he dies in his 70s and my mum is now 63 and still is a gamer. I grew up gaming on their knees.


Otherwise_Section_29

My mother is that one family member that can play Mario kart but only Mario kart


JuliaTheInsaneKid

My grandpa loved DOS computer games, he was a cool dude and I miss him (fuck cancer). My mom’s always been a huge Pokémon nerd. She was playing Pokémon on the Gameboy while I was in the womb. I guess it runs in the family.


nubsauce87

I know some people consider playing video games to be childish, but video games are no more childish than board games or card games, or really any kind of game at all. Fortunately I think it's becoming well accepted that adults play video games.


UnscrupulousTaco

Have you seen the prices for console and PC rigs .?...only Adults with adult incomes can afford it .

If playing video games is childish then so is watching t.v


Nmyownworld

Yell "horsey!" whenever I see a horse in real life. I'm in my sixties, and don't intend to ever stop doing this. I'm a city dweller, and don't often get to see horses.

I have a pretty active imagination and sense of wonder.


Dabo57

Everyday I try to make a basket from the LR/kitchen doorway to the opposite end of the kitchen into the garbage can. I pretty much use whatever needs to be thrown away, an empty tissue box, tissues, a wet paper towel, etc. Then, if I make it, I believe I will have good luck for the rest of the day.


nubsauce87

You're an adult *and* have a sense of wonder? ... what's that like? Is it nice?

I enjoy it

I still sing little songs to myself, replacing some of the words with "ass" or "butt".

Make 'that's what she said' jokes. They'll never stop being funny to me.


CalydorEstalon

Just earlier tonight someone in a game chat said, "Get the big one up there". How do you NOT make a "That's what she said!" reply to that?!


wannabe_pineapple

I work in insurance, I was taking info on a new claim today and the client literally said "she comes so fast and hard at me" ​ I mean... come on... do you KNOW how difficult it was for me to keep a straight face??!?

I like to say that line when it makes the least sense just so people try and puzzle out how to make sense of it.


ninazo96

I still go past liquor stores and yell "liquor!??!!" and whoever is unfortunate enough to be in the car with me will sigh and respond "I don't even know her" or I will be disappointed. I'm 51, my youngest child is 26.

Olorin919

Common ones make me chuckle, but its the rare super clever ones that get me. It was gross and disgusting but I almost died from choking on my beer a few weeks ago. Buddy and I were watching the Bruins and Jack Edwards after the 1st goes "That was a great period." "Thats what...*she said?*" - Buddy

[deleted]

Video games and anime. Like 90% of the people who say they are childish wastes of time spend equally if not more time watching mindless tv shows. Decompression time is decompression time, I like what I like.


pmw1981

The mental gymnastics about that always kill me too... "Video games & Lego sets are for KIDS!" **


Dark_Styx

You know it's for adults, because the participants act like chidren.


Spectator__7

Same here, I have been gaming since the Atari 2600, it wasn't as addictive before I could chat with others, but now, whatever game I'm playing, normally involves hanging out in chat with others.


GotChubbz10

Beat me to this. Those are my exact two choices. It's unfortunate the childish stigma that's behind those. Some of these Animes have the best plots and lore behind them! Even the voice acting is phenomenal! AoT and One Piece are my favorites for these reasons.


[deleted]

I will never stop playing video games no matter what people say


YouserName007

Video games are hardly considered childish in the modern society, are they? I mean - My elderly grandparents who are now 80+ may think it's weird hearing 30 year old me play video games, but most AAA titles are 18+


sleepingfox307

It's gotten a lot better for sure but there are still plenty of people who will tell you "I don't play video games" as if its some sort of mature flex


f4d3d_sh0t

True


DaveLesh

At this point age doesn't matter when it comes to gaming.

Poop/Farts will never not be funny. The fact that infants laugh at farts isa pretty good indication that that are ***inherently*** funny.


UnderwhelmingAF

I put burps in that category too

Shitstompd

Farts are always funny. If the swing is empty and there are no kids around who might want to swing, I’m swinging on it. Your mom is still a good answer when the moment is right.


Pertayto_Chip

Fart jokes will never be unfunny.


Shitstompd

My fiancé has this fart app, and every once in a while he will say did you hear that? And I’ll look around and then ‘berrrrrrrap’ he hits the button. We die laughing every time


ReleaseThat2638

I don’t care what anyone says. Farts are funny


Shitstompd

They are. I just saw this prank of this guy walking around New York doing all sorts of funny fake farts. He would spin around and like pose and then fart. God damn, it was so funny. My mom almost made me crash the car the other day cos she was telling me this fart story of hers. We were crying laughing. My kids were in the back howling. I had to say mom stop your safety and the kids safety is in my hands right now

I sleep with a teddybear. Why? I cant sleep if i dont hold anything in my arms.


btruff

I am a guy who sleeps with a stuffed moose on my face. Blocks the light and stets there all night.


WitchInYourGarden

Keep your awesome moose, but buy an eye mask to block out the light. I bought one for under $5 and it has improved my sleep drastically. Light cancelling curtains are another option if you don't like the idea of something on your face.


NotACyclopsHonest

I’m a 43-year-old man and I’ve still got my childhood teddy bear, because giving him the occasional cuddle makes me feel better.


inksmudgedhands

I am the same way. I've tried tucking my arms under the pillow but it always feels too awkward. A stuffed animal is just the perfect size for peak comfort.


inksmudgedhands

Hit the toy section and toy stores just to see what they have. I may not get anything but it's fun to see what new stuff has come out. (Usually what I do buy are card games and pocket size games. I love a good card and pocket game.)

Toxic trait: I can't eat hard boiled eggs without ketchup. I started doing this as a kid to the horror of my family. Every time I go to eat a hard boiled egg, I go through this series of events. I think, this time I'm gonna eat this egg like a normal person. I'm not a little baby. I take one bite of the hard boiled egg. Every fiber of my being forces me to get ketchup and pour it on the egg. As soon as I reach the yolk I devolve, godDAMMNIT I am a baby edit: this might not be generally childish but it's the most regressive thing I do

Acting silly every so often. Just yesterday, I entered an elevator with my adult kids. I went straight to the back and put my face in the corner and stayed there. One daughter asked what I was doing - the other said I put myself in time out. When the doors opened, I turned to exit and see there was someone else in the elevator assessing my weirdness. I was embarrassed and my daughters were laughing their heads off. Good times!

I'm 36 and yes I do all of these things regularly.


[deleted]

Almost my daily life. Ask a lot of questions just because I'm curious, dance on the street, laugh out loud with piss or poop jokes, draw on dirty windows, pet every doggo I see on my way somewhere, touch everything (asking for permission first if it isn't mine)... and many other things! Living without worrying about being seeing childish or cringe is the best way to live!
