Every so often I still indulge in the "don't step on the cracks" game while walking along the street :-)

Switching song lyrics for immature lines.

Pretending to use The Force to open automatic doors.

Sleeping with a teddy bear

Riding on the shopping cart like a scooter

Got into Lego again a few years ago. It definitely has changed a lot since I was a kid in the previous millennium.

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)

Chocolate milk.

There's a lot of things. One easy one is I enjoy coloring in. And I really like teddy bears.

Dino shaped chicken nuggets

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

YA Novels can be good -- such an easy, engaging story. I really enjoyed the "I am Number Four" and "Jumper" series-es.

• 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.

😅 Coloring books. Dino nuggies. Chocolate milk. Cartoons. Plushies. Fairy tales.

Also, ATLA is amazing no matter what age you are 🤩

sound effects with my mouth....engine noises, explosions, etc

ATLA is awesome. Worth enjoying at any age.

I've got a decent collection of stuff animals. They're nice.

Stuffed animals and fun shaped foods/objects. I want the Super Mario macaroni to go with my Dino nuggets so my stuffies and I can have a nice dinner.

Love this topic! I'm with you on the YA novels, sometimes I just like an easier read, and does loving Harry Potter count?

I am a 38-year-old adult and I love Tamagotchis. Also Pokemon, anime, comic books, stickers, sitting on the floor, and using the shower wand as a microphone.

Chicken fingers 😣

Minecraft, though i'd like to see a child tangle with GregTech xD

Blowing on dandelions and watching the seeds float away.

Responsible adults don't propagate weeds.

I'm quite childish. Still play video games, still watch cartoons more than live-action shows, still eat (now sugar-free) candy. What's going to happen? Are the grown-up police going to break into my house and demand that I turn in my adulting license and my pubes?

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

I'm a similar age and my wife and I have just started watching the Pokémon cartoons (they're on netflix!). She's seen them before but I never have and it's great.

Similarly we watched Phineas and Ferb and it was great.

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.

I make a distinction between childish and child-like or simply the things from childhood. This isn't pedantry, it just serves to illustrate a way of thinking for me that's tangential to the question.

But, a lot actually. It is very unusual for me to not enjoy the things I enjoyed as a kid, and it is almost as uncommon that I reject new things that are for kids just because I'm an adult.

But yeah, I still play with Legos (as opposed to building kits). I finger paint (though I call it working primitive to the art snobs lol). I still watch some cartoons, and I still enjoy the ones I don't watch when they happen to be on.

Joy is a thing that should be cherished while it exists. It, like all things, is ephemeral, so if something that brings it is deemed for kids, I refuse to reject it solely because of age.

It's kinda sad at times though. My niece and my kid used to finger paint with me. Now they're too old for it in their heads, and I miss having that fun with them. The kind of silly play we used to do has been replaced with more structured activity, though there's still play and joy in it (even the knife fighting and general unarmed combat I'm teaching my kid and some others lol).

Retaining that sense of joy, cherishing it when it comes and being able to let it go when it moves on is essential to life.

I like American Girl dolls!

I enjoy shirking my responsibilities and doing nothing, if I can help it.

Pokemon games. I played all the games up to the Gameboy Advanced, missed the DS and have purchased all of the switch games. My wife and I actually buy both versions of each game so we can trade and battle.

My son bought me a flamingo squishmallow and it’s the best!! Also, Pokémon Go

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.

Cartoons/ animation. I'll never grow out of 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

Words like fart, poop, boobies, etc.
