Childish Things

Are there things you don't do anymore as an adult, that you wish you could?
Or are there things you did as a child that you still do, although it's not really expected of you as an adult?

We never had soft play areas when I was a child so I would love to go wild in one of those
Come out with static hair and scuffed knees and bum!

I also wish sometimes that I could just play KissChase with the guy I fancied, so that he or I could do away with being so polite!!! That, and poke sticks together in to melted tarmac on a hot summers day

Re: Childish Things

I still do all those childish things I'm afraid.
Only yesterday I blew a raspberry at someone.

Re: Childish Things

I used to love flying stunt kites along with my three mates. We got really good at it and would fly all three together and do stunts in unison.

I would feel a bit silly doing that now.

Re: Childish Things

I still scrape to bowl out when I've made a cake - just like mum used to let me do.

When I take the grandkids to the park I always go on the swings and sometimes the slide too if there aren't many people there...

I used to do that too, well into my 30s and before I had my daughter.
Never keen on the slide or those things that go round and round, but the swings, I never wanted to come off those

Of course, it's a given I did it when I'd had my daughter, I mean you have to don't you?

....

I'd love to do French skipping in the street like we used to. Skipping generally really, the sort where there are 2 people at either end of the rope and you have to go up and over and do a little jig, get out and jump back in again

Re: Childish Things

On holiday if there's nice firm sand we always play hopscotch

I'm teaching my grandkids What's The Time Mister Wolf!
