21 Wholesome "Childish" Habits Adults Refuse To Give Up
Recently, Reddit user u/TroubleEarly7249 asked, "What's your 'I don't care how old I am, I'm still doing this' thing?"
So, according to adults, here are some of their favorite "childish" things that they'll never stop doing:
"Going down the slide when I bring my kids to the playground."
"I'll forever drink Capri-Suns and eat popsicles. My Asian immigrant parents say it's childish of me."
"Drinking chocolate milk."
"Enjoying silly little craft projects. I, for instance, find it relaxing to lie on my stomach on the floor and do Perler bead art in my spare time. Like these owls. I'm 33 years old and have been told I'm too old for this, but it's honestly like meditation to me after work."
"Whenever I move out to my own place, I'm gonna get myself a really nice wooden train set; playing with trains has always been so fun and calming to me, and I can't wait."
"Neopets! I don't have my account from my childhood, but I made a new one a few years back with the same animal Korbat (the mouse/bat) I had. It really relaxes me on my lunch break; I feed him an omelet while I eat as well.
"I'm 50, and I build houses in The Sims. No shame. Also, I'm currently re-reading the Chronicles of Narnia because everything's rubbish and I want to be happy."
"I always wear hair clips. I don't care about my age! Hair clips are fun! I will forever keep up with the glitters and the sparkles!"
"Dressing up how I want to and having fun with my hair, makeup, clothing, etc. I currently have red highlights in my hair, and I still feel badass at 39 years old."
"I will still sometimes get up at six in the morning on Sundays, sit in the living room, and watch TV while eating stuff that's technically not breakfast food."
"Having a 'kid's dinner' brings me so much joy. It's easy, it's tasty, and I can upgrade my drink to a white wine now."
"Video Games."
"I still enjoy stepping on crunchy leaves. There's something so satisfying about the sound and the feel. It brought me so much joy as a kid, and it still does as an adult."
"I still watch Arthur reruns! It's literally on PBS kids, but I still think it's hilarious and nostalgic."
"Sleep with my stuffed animal."
"Coloring. It's relaxing and gets me off my phone."
"Building Lego sets."
"Ballet. I hope to be en pointe by next year!!!"
"EDM shows. I will be the rave grandma one day!"
"Riding the shopping cart through the parking lot like it's a scooter."
And finally, "Blasting music in the car and singing my heart out. I don't care if I get weird looks."
What other "childish" things do you still do that really aren't childish at all? Let us know in the comments!
