For me, it's sticking my hand out of the window of a moving car. Whether I'm driving or not, I love having the windows down and waving my hand in the wind. I've loved it since I was a child and I'll never stop doing it!

I still ride my loaded grocery cart down the parking lot to my car after each trip. It’s the little things in life.

You've got the wheels right there, no reason not to use them.

Walking/balancing on curbs, retaining walls, downed trees in the forest - pretty much anything.

Congrats on still being able to bend over at 40! I'm 2 years from 30 and everytime I bend over something pops lol.

I have summers off from work (am a teacher), which I COULD be using to get tons of errands done, renovating the house, working out, etcetc. However, I am currently spending it sleeping in, playing too many video games, staying up late, crafting, reading, etc, which is exactly what I did during summer as a kid as well. It's been nice :)

It's not that often that I'm in a car I'm not driving anymore, but when I'm a passenger you can bet your ass I'm imagining a little ninja dude running along side the car, doing sick ninja flips over stuff on the side of the road.

For me it's a skateboarder. Doing kickflips into grinding the rails and using the environment as ramps and obstacles. Tunnels suck.

I don't get to do it much anymore, but watching cartoons on Saturday morning.

Oh man, Saturday morning cartoons just hit the spot! A bowl of cereal with the addition of a cup of coffee.

when you go shopping, push off with your trolley and pull yourself up to go for a little ride down an empty isle. 40m and I still do it

Sandwich biscuits (like Oreo and the likes, but there are plenty local brands) are extremely popular among kids where I live. I still eat them, the same way as I did as a kid: split them in halves, eat the filling-less halves, and then join the halves with filling so I get to eat biscuits with 2x more filling.

Me and my wife (no kids) have recently decided to do the 'stuff you enjoyed being a kid' type outings. Such as dino parks, castles, zoos, theme parks.

If you are an adult having kids is usually how you end up in those places and we decided just to do those things for ourselves.

Balance on random things when I'm walking. Also imagine racing my cart sometimes when I'm at the store.

Running short distances for no particular reason. Like if I'm a short distance from the car and realize I forgot something in it, I'll run there and then run back.

Sometimes people are like "what's wrong?? why are you running??" and I'm just like why not? It's fun.

Laser tag. Shit's great, the shine does get taken off somewhat when I do really well and rank top but all my opponents are small children and their parents look vaguely annoyed.

At home my main mode of locomotion is skipping, it's just fun, also it's faster than walking

Even though it's more of a stress reducer and to help me calm down, I like to snuggle and cuddle with my favorite stuffed rabbit. It also brings me back somewhat to when I was a kid and had tons of stuffed animals.

47 and I still try to get out to a skatepark at least twice a week.

No idea how long I'm going to be able to do it, but I'm going to make every session count.

I still enjoy the movies and TV shows I watched as a kid. Doug, Hey Arnold, Brave Little Toaster, etc. They're great!

I (38 m) still have a blanky I sleep with - mostly because my cat will only sleep in my bed if it's there, she will (mostly) only sit in my lap if it's there and she pretty much just hangs out in whatever room it's in... Yeah... It's her blankly, I'm just its mode of transport to make sure she hangs out with me.

[-] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago

It probally smells like you, so when you are there and the blankie is there, its like its 2x you, which is what she likes.

[-] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago

Every once in a while when I’m out grocery shopping, I’ll buy a coloring book, Silly Putty or Play-doh. They’re soothing distractions and the smell of the crayons, putty and doh really take me back.

Also, if I’m a passenger in a car and it’s raining, I still play the “rain drop race” game on the window. Good times.

Buy stuffed animals. I sleep better when I have something soft to snuggle up against, and they work better than pillows since they're smaller, and also they're just very cute.

Holding a plate of food or a cup of coffee and pretending it is a spaceship flying through the air, dodging the chair, the table, the house plant, over the couch, down the canyon of the coffee table and chair and carefully up onto its landing pad at the end table. A few times I've had some near misses and hit a wing or the underbelly on an obstacle. Once or twice, I was witness to a terrible tragedy as I lost my ship as it spilled out onto the living room floor. Perhaps it was the lack of airplane noises that caused these terrible mishaps.

Riding the grocery carts through the store if nobody is around to hit. Ive slammed into a display once, took almost 5 min to get it back together, and no employees came to help the entire time, but i dont blame them.

Hold my breath going through tunnels. This really backfired when I was on vacation in Hong Kong and went through a hella long tunnel. Did not know what I was signing up for.
