What brings out the little kid in you?

Comic books and Mad Magazine. I love them both, but rarely indulge.

You have awakened a passion in you. Good going.
I get excited doing research in Family Histories as it makes me feel like a detective sluthing.
I like to solve mysteries. My family holds a mystery regarding an ancestor.

I also love holding extremely old books ( 17 century) that I discovered on Hay-on-wye website in the U.K. ( to purchase below $100.00 U.S.)

Playing, running, biking with my dogs.

Dang lil kid is ALWAYS lying there in wait! Just music, a walk in a big toy store or anything brings it out! How come we aren’t done with that kid yet?

I’m just like @ZEPHYRA. Just about anything. Watching little kids and their natural curiosity is enough. I’m pushing 70 and the kid in me is alive and well. That kid isn’t leaving till I check out.

My grand kids. Nothing better than a dogpile on Gigi!

Swings! I will never be too old to swing at a playground.

I love swings too @augustlan. being outside. Coloring, painting, making cookies anything can set me off. It is actually easier these days to access it then before.

I actually got my nephew a kid telescope for Christmas and we did much the same thing. Me hogging it etc. Lol. Twas fun.
Uh oh… regression!

Helping my youngest grandkids explore the world.

I have a few divorced male friends who have daughters. It’s one of my favorite things in the world to let the guys hang out while I take the Rinny or Madi to Hobby Lobby and find a crafty thing to do with them.

I always loved Lego and stuff, but I loved making something permanent.

We pick out those beads you arrange and then fuse with an iron… or stained glass paints… or shrinky dinks.

Then I get to spend the rest of the day making things “for daddy” with a little girl.

Love it!!

The doll section in our local toy store. I still like looking at them, but never played with them much.
Amusement parks. I love roller coasters, but no longer have friends who can tolerate them for one reason and another and it’s not something I’d choose to do by myself.
Kicking through leaves when they fall in Autumn.

Snow.

I just mentioned in another thread, there was a tardis in the foyer of the cinema. I wanted so badly to play in it. My inner child is pretty much always close to the surface. She can come out at any point. I also mentioned somewhere being awake in the middle of the night and getting the urge to pretend I was a zombie as I came back to bed. Swings as @auggie suggested are great fun. Dancing with my dogs (my husband doesn’t dance). My kids were nervous the other day when we went out because there was a picture of a whale. They hang from the ceiling outside the museum and on the spur of the moment I felt the urge to make whale noises… so I did. I don’t know why this bothered them…. life’s short. I try not to take it or myself too seriously.

Err, everyfum!!

Walks, biking, rolling in the grass with my dogs, parade’s, singing a silly song, hugging my mom.

Big machines, especially earth movers. I can watch those guys who tear up the street for hours, and next time I go to Vegas I’m gonna spend all my money on the adult sandbox.

Hmm, having low blood sugar, feeling embarrassed, wondering if my superiors think I’m stupid and a waste of space…Not much else is coming to mind.

@bookish1 Honey, that means you didn’t ever get to be a kid? You need to schedule a play date and just have fun, even as an adult you can nurture your inner child as part of your healing. :) hugs

@KNOWITALL : I got to be a kid. I just had to block out a lot, and I also grew up fast. Thank you. I will try to work on that.

@bookish1 A semi-crappy chidhood is one of the reasons we didn’t have kids, like you it wasn’t all bad but there were a lot of bad episodes let’s say. Everyone deserves to be happy at some point in life. Peace out, B.

Nothing brings out the kid in me anymore except for amusement parks and we don’t have one that I know about.

@wildpotato That adult sandbox sounds so fun! I’d totally do that with you. @bookish1 should come with us.

I’m with @ZEPHYRA and @ETpro. Everything. I’m so blessed to live where I live and to be able to swim every day and ride around everywhere in golf cart and to go to Disney three or four times a month and to have my granddaughter near me and to have my health-despite all the stupid things I’ve done in my life to ruin it completely. It never ceases to amaze me what a beautiful world I live in. I go to bed some nights completely breathless from just stepping outside and looking up at the stars.

@bkcunningham Zipping around in a golf cart sounds like all sorts of fun!

I go grocery shopping, to the bank, restaurants, to the movies, Walmart…you name it…in my golf cart. It is such a wonderful life. It makes you feel like a kid again.

< Here’s my cart, @augustlan.

Nice!

Come on down and I’ll let you drive it! beep beep There’s a cooler under the back seat and an AM/FM CD player!

*ICE CREAM MAN!

I got some ice cream!
I got some i-cccce cream!
ICE CREAM!
ICE CREAM!
ICE CREAM!

(Thanks, Eddie Murphy.)

How did I miss this question?!

I’m very kid-like already, so it doesn’t take much.

Here are some that make me even more so:
Swings, Lego, kids cartoons, swimming, ice cream, suckers/lollipops, beaches, toys (yes, I do have some), fantasy movies/shows, slinkies, worms, caterpillars, kids, remote control vehicles, walkie talkies, animals, dinosaurs, fossils, stars/space, driving through giant puddles, sprinklers, Christmas, snow, thunder/lightning storms, faerie tales, water slides, giant things, toy section in stores, board games, foot prints…..
Um ok…pretty much most things. I have the curiosity and imagination of a child.

@Plucky Your answer is adorable and I have to agree with swimming making me feel all kid-joy! not doing laps like an old fart, but somersaults and handstands on the bottom of the pool.. or jumping off a rope into a river swimming hole… ah, yes.

@Plucky and @Blueroses Swimming is a good one!

@Blueroses Thank you…I tend to be rather adorable ;-)
