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!

Wallabies stun Springboks at Ellis Park from 22-0 down in Rugby Championship
JOHANNESBURG -- Australia toppled South Africa at Ellis Park for the first time in 62 years with a sensational 38-22 comeback win from 22-0 down in the Rugby Championship opener on Saturday. The Wallabies scored a remarkable six straight tries against the double world champion and Rugby Championship titleholder to earn one of their greatest wins in the professional era. Australia came to the highveld battle-hardened from the narrow home series loss to the British and Irish Lions, but its record in South Africa made it an obvious underdog. It hadn't won in South Africa since 2011 or at Ellis Park since 1963. The Springboks underlined their credentials by sprinting to 22-0 in 17 minutes with three well-made tries. But they never scored again. Australia didn't panic, absorbed the blows, tightened its defense and watched a Springboks side packed with 18 World Cup winners surprisingly wobble as the pressure was returned. The Wallabies, down 22-5 at halftime, didn't go ahead until the 64th minute through captain Harry Wilson's second try and last act of the match. They added two more tries to finish the stronger team at an altitude in which they have traditionally struggled for decades. This was only their second ever win over the Boks at their spiritual home in 92 years. 'At 22-0 down, there was real courage again from the players,' Wallabies coach Joe Schmidt told broadcaster SuperSport. "We were forced to take a few risks and there were a few lucky bounces for us, so we are not going to get too carried away. 'At the same time I am incredibly proud of the group. I am realistic about getting a little bit of luck, but delighted we came back. Nineteen-sixty-three was a long time ago so the players are delighted.' Following the heaviest defeat by the Springboks since Rassie Erasmus took charge in 2018, the coach admitted he was embarrassed to go to the press conference. "We were really awful,' he said. "They beat us in most departments. We didn't scrum them, they beat us in the lineouts, and they bullied us at the breakdown after Siya Kolisi went off and Marco van Staden had to go off for an HIA. "Tactically, we totally overplayed every time we thought something was on. I don't think they tactically outsmarted us but they physically dominated us, and the interesting thing is that the longer the game went on they were supposed to struggle but it just shows what Joe Schmidt is building there.' Wilson opened the second half scoring a soft try from replacement prop Angus Bell's pass into a gap 25 meters out. Len Ikitau limped off and Australia patched the midfield with Andrew Kellaway, and put flyhalf backup Tane Edmed on the wing for the injured Dylan Pietsch. Australia blew two consecutive attacking lineouts to narrow the 22-12 gap, and managed it only when rugby league convert Joseph-Aukuso Sua'ali'i intercepted flyhalf Manie Libbok from 55 meters out for his first test try. They finally hit the front when fullback Tom Wright set up Wilson, who appeared to be cramping as he crossed the try-line for a second time. Wilson left. Two minutes later, a giant double miss-out pass by James O'Connor released right wing Max Jorgensen to score another long-range try. The fourth goalkick by O'Connor, the fourth-choice flyhalf playing his first test in three years at age 35, sent Australia 33-22 ahead with 14 minutes left. South Africa and its renowned 'bomb squad' of replacements couldn't break the inspired Wallabies. The coup was completed with five to go. Just outside the Australia 22, Jesse Kriel's overhead inside pass to Andre Esterhuizen was knocked on straight to Wright, who cantered to the other end. The Springboks feasted on Italy and Georgia last month but Erasmus gathered them for the Australia game a week earlier than scheduled, a compliment to the Wallabies' resurgent effort against the Lions. The decision paid off early. Wing Kurt-Lee Arendse jogged in for the opening try inside two minutes. Libbok converted, added a penalty, then hit the post when he tried to convert a long-range try finished by center Esterhuizen. Five minutes later, captain Kolisi was over. At 22-0 after 17 minutes, the lack of tension prompted the crowd of 51,300 to do a Mexican wave. Ruck penalties against South Africa gave Australia momentum, and Ikitau looped around O'Connor to free left wing Pietsch for Australia's first points after a half-hour. But Pietsch walked off soon after, clutching his jaw after tackling Kolisi's shoulder. ___
