a bit weird, as a kid I developed a habit of making "tape swords" by taking a long piece of clear tape and rolling it into a thin tube. I still do if if I find myself with a roll of tape, it's a good fidgeting tool.
The swings.
Some of my fondest memories are of swings. Not just from childhood either. I vividly remember an intense session in university, and another from only a few years back was special for a variety of reasons. And now, my daughter is just old enough to really start appreciating them. I don't think I'll stop swinging until I'm incapable.
I like to crawl up stairs on all 4s when no-one is home.
I go into puddles on purpose
During spring time when snow is melting I like to dig small ditches to drain puddles and watch the water flow. Some of my mountain bike trips take twice as long because I can't help but stop for every nice puddle
EDIT: Also run! From my house to car or shed to house etc. I could walk but running is faster and more fun. I don't get why adults only run to excersice.
I like jumping in water puddles, been doing it for decades but I recently moved to a winter rainfall area so haven't had the balls
Handstands in the pool, 37 here
I don't think I ever really stopped being a child, cuz I still do pretty much everything I did when I was 10. lol
I watch cartoons, I play with toys (mostly Lego) and video games, I blow dandelions, I do the hand out the window thing in a car, I'll dress up like a ninja and prowl around in the dark, etc.
Edit: Reading this a second time, makes it sound like I am Charlie from It's Always Sunny...
Sprinting down hotel hallways in my socks
Singing made-up songs.
Jump in puddles. I'll never stop.
Snowmen. Still build one whenever there is snow.
Blowing soap bubbles and accidently spilling half of the fluid.
This is more of a highschool childish, but occasionally I like to smoke weed and stay up till 3am playing video games. Then call in sick for work the next day of course
I play pretend, two hand touch football, Frisbee, study ant hills, build snow forts, sandcastles, etc. Who said being an adult meant no fun would be had?
As spring come, breaking down the ice crust that forms near the sidewalk.
Leave the marshmallows to the end when I eat Lucky Charms... And still eating kid's cereal for breakfast.
A few months ago, I was outside blowing bubbles with my 4 year old. She moved on to something else, but I kept it up for a while. I forgot how fun it is to watch them fly off and see how far they go!
One thing I do that I have since I can remember is triple cut the slices on a frozen pizza so that each slice is a single bite. Makes the pizza extra good!
~Iโve~ ice cream for dinner!
Edit: not straight cream. Do even kids do that??
Since I was a kid I've always run up and down flights of stairs and continue to this day. It is fun, it's a workout and I find walking far too slow.
I jump up and touch the top of the doorframe when I'm passing through a door. Not every time. But probably more than half the time.
