September 22, 2022

You've probably heard the quote "Growing old is mandatory; growing up is optional."

Sometimes we take life too seriously. We should all embrace our inner child more often.

On a men's forum, someone asked the question: "As an Adult, what's the most childish thing you still do and enjoy doing?"

These were the top 10 responses. They seem to be universal.

#1 Use the empty gift wrap tubes as a lightsaber.

Every. Single. Time.

#2 Talking to myself and making up dumb songs about what I'm doing.

#3 Going up stairs on all fours like a bear crawl, or sliding down the stairs one at a time on my butt.

#4 I like to ride the shopping cart back to my car when I leave a store.

#5 Treating my joints like they'll heal like they used to.

I felt this is my knee...

#6 Evaluating how good of a weapon a random stick is.

#7 Annoying my siblings.

#8 Whenever I hear a plane I must stop and look at it.

This also goes for cows and horses while in a car.

#9 Pretending I've used "the force" to open automatic doors.

#10 Not stepping on cracks.

Have any to add?
