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?
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 😅
Me too!
Gotta protect your momma’s back!
sound effects with my mouth…engine noises, explosions, etc
Cartoons/ animation. I’ll never grow out of it.
You’re all just being human. You’re not childish, just being human.
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 like banana flavoured milk too
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.
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.
Pretending to use The Force to open automatic doors.
Oh, it isn’t just me then…
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?
They don’t care, at worst they just assume you’re buying them for a kid. It takes a lot more than that for a cashier to even notice.
So go get some smiles, those things are delicious.
I enjoy shirking my responsibilities and doing nothing, if I can help it.
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
My son bought me a flamingo squishmallow and it’s the best!! Also, Pokémon Go
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
Minecraft, though i’d like to see a child tangle with GregTech xD
😅 Coloring books. Dino nuggies. Chocolate milk. Cartoons. Plushies. Fairy tales.
Also, ATLA is amazing no matter what age you are 🤩
