Childlike Habits Adults Refuse To Give Up
Since everyone's always talking about "healing their inner child," let's talk about the things we're doing to make that happen. I recently bought myself a Squishmallow and felt my soul light up again. If you need inspiration, you're in luck. In one Reddit thread (which you can see here), people shared the "little kid" things they still do in adulthood, and honestly, I need to start doing more of these. Here are 18 childlike things that people love doing as grown-ups: "I always use 'The Force' to open automatic doors." "Every single time I go to Target, I have to walk down the Lego aisle. I don't even buy them, I just like to look at the big, complicated sets and imagine building them." –BiscottiCute1 "I never miss an opportunity to test my balance. Curb raised higher than the sidewalk? I'm balancing and walking on it. As a kid, I walked miles balancing on railroad tracks. I'm almost 70 years old, and the same idea applies." "Watching cartoons. As an adult living in today's world, I just need a break from reality and want something funny and innocent." "Buying dino nuggets. I'm a legal adult who can cook actual food, but sometimes you just have a bad day and the only cure is dinosaur-shaped chicken." –joannamiller05 "I'm 36. I still sleep with quite a few stuffed animals in my bed and have a special blanket too. No fucks given, love my big ass stuffed animals and blanket very much. Indulge yourself, who cares? And if they do, they ain't a friend." "Rainbow sprinkles on my ice cream. They look so cheerful and I like the crunch. Chocolate sprinkles are not an acceptable substitue. I want every color of food dye or no deal." –baby_armadillo "Mimicking the Olympic event I just watched, especially if it's gymnastics or figure skating. Must say 'I can do that' with confidence and then immediately not do it in any remotely accurate or successful way. The only problem now is I break furniture AND body parts." "Going into pet stores just to look at all the fish, reptiles, and other animals there. Bonus points if there are cats, too." –NoSoup5774 "Looking for frogs and crayfish in creeks and ponds. I'll never be too old to get excited over catching a frog!" "Coming home with cool-looking rocks in my pockets." –MikrokosmicUnicorn "I love anything sparkly. I'll be the only one in the nursing home with a bedazzled walker." "Driving by farm animals and saying their names out loud. 'Hi, cows!' 'Horses!' 'Have a nice day, goatie goats!'" –I2AMDOOM "Putting crisps in sandwiches (that's chips to my American friends)." "Buying action figures and collectibles. I will never stop collecting, and they are for all ages." "I will never stop climbing trees. I've been scolded in parks by elderly people who seem to think that 35 is too old to be in a tree." –WillyBluntz89 "Running up the basement stairs on all fours like a cryptid because it's dark and spooky down there. I'm 19. I know there's no monster, but my lizard brain says 'go fast' and that's the fastest way." What are the "little kid" things you'll never stop doing? Let me know in the comments!

'It ain't bothering me': Robert MacIntyre addresses \n'jeering' fans at BMW Championship
Robert MacIntyre is not backing down from anyone. Not even the World No. 1 or some rowdy American fans. MacIntyre, a 29-year-old from Scotland seeking his third win on the PGA Tour, is the leader by four shots after Saturday's third round of the 2025 BMW Championship at Caves Valley Golf Club in Owings Mills, Maryland — the second of three events in the FedEx Cup Playoffs. MacIntyre entered the day leading by five over Scottie Scheffler and managed to largely hold off the world's best player throughout the round, making some exceptional par saves and never allowing Scheffler to get closer than three, which was MacIntyre's lead before he drained a 41-foot bomb for birdie on No. 18. He signed for 2-under 68 to enter the final round at 16 under. (Editor's note: For a recap, scores, highlights and more from Saturday's third round at the BMW Championship, click here.) MacIntyre showed some serious mental fortitude as he scrambled his way around Caves Valley on Saturday afternoon in front of some unruly patrons trying to make life difficult for the Scotsman. It became most noticeable on the par-4 14th hole when MacIntyre faced an 8-foot putt to save par. He made the putt and as soon as he did, he whipped his head around to stare directly at someone or something in the gallery. MacIntyre gave a fist pump, held up a finger-to-lips "hush" signal and continued to point at the same area while he walked off the putting surface. "He was just jeering. He was just shouting 'I missed it, he's pushed it.'" MacIntyre said with a slight grin. "Pushed it right in the middle of the hole, I guess." MacIntyre said he saw security officers make their way over to the part of the stands where he was pointing as he strutted away from the 14th green. "I don't know if anyone was thrown out, but there was plenty of people to talk to." MacIntyre is a virtual lock to be on Team Europe for the 2025 Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black in New York and he's getting some early practice in dealing with hostile crowds on foreign soil. It's nothing he didn't see coming, though. "I totally expected it. I totally expected to be in this situation today when I'm in this position. It's going to be the exact same tomorrow." Scheffler didn't have his best stuff but still managed to fire a 3-under 67 and keep himself somewhat in contention entering Sunday at 12 under for the tournament, in solo second but four shots off the lead. He didn't seem to catch what was said to MacIntyre at the 14th green, but he's had his own experiences with disruptive fans when he's leading a golf tournament that isn't close to home. "I didn't see any of that. I played with [MacIntyre] when we were in Scotland. I heard some fairly choice words when I was leading the [Open Championship] in Ireland. "I think it's part of it. People have a tendency to say things that are dumb. I can think of a few things that were said to me in the final round in Ireland that were very far over the line. If you're a fan, it's only going to fire the guy up more, and I think just do your best to behave out there. It can be a little bit silly sometimes." During MacIntyre's post-round media availability, a reporter pointed out another situation with fans that seemed to have unfolded on the fourth hole during Saturday's third round. "I mean, it started on the first tee," MacIntyre said. "It probably started when I walked down to the range. It ain't bothering me. It's there. As long as they don't do it within — if they do it outside the shot, it's fair game, but don't do it within the shot that's going to affect myself or Scottie." Raucous fans aside, with 18 holes to go, there's no denying that the BMW Championship is MacIntyre's to lose. He's embracing the role of spoiler. "Look, I grew up all my days amateur golf being the one on the outside looking in, faced not fitting, really fighting for it. What we say in the team, it's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog, and I grew up fighting to be in this position." MacIntyre and Scheffler tee off at 1:40 p.m. ET Sunday for the final round at Caves Valley.

LSU head coach Brian Kelly reveals why linebacker Whit Weeks missed practice on Friday
LSU football head coach Brian Kelly gave a reason why junior linebacker Whit Weeks missed practice on Friday. 'Yeah, just managing the load," Kelly said. "We're not going to have him practice five days in a row until we get into game week. So today was his day off. He'll be back out there tomorrow. He'll scrimmage tomorrow.' The Tigers are monitoring Weeks' workload going into what could be a big year. He suffered a lower-body injury in the Texas Bowl against Baylor on New Year's Eve that required surgery. Weeks missed the entirety of spring practice but worked back to full speed over the summer. Weeks returns as the team's leading tackler from last year. He's receiving All-American hype as one of 2024's most productive linebackers, ranking No. 2 among SEC linebackers in pressures and stops. A second full season under defensive coordinator Blake Baker, who has a strong history of developing NFL-level linebackers, could solidify Weeks as one of the best linebackers to ever play at LSU and his NFL draft stock as a potential first-rounder.
