Top 10 Childish Things Adults Still Do

There are just some things from childhood that we refuse to let go of, aren't there?

The Top Ten
  1. Pop bubble wrap

    I was helping my friend and neighbor wrap and move some delicate ornaments from his house. I finished with the bubble wrap and asked him what he wanted me to do with the leftover. He looked around and said, "Dunno. Errr... pop it in that corner over there." At first, he couldn't understand why I found it so funny. Haha.

    This is one of those lists where you can tell just from the title who made it. Also, yes, imagine growing out of this.

    I once had a competition with my mother to see who could pop the most bubbles in the wrap. She won!

  2. Do cannonballs in the pool

    How does it make sense if we do cannonballs at the pool? No one's too old to do a cannonball at the pool.

  3. Read comics

  4. Eat candy

  5. Ride kids' coin-operated rides and toys

    I'm 26, and I like to ride coin-operated horses. I also own a spring rocking horse and like to ride that as well.

    I've ridden actual horses. They are fun.

    I like the horse ones. They're fun.

  6. Go to theme parks

    I went to Disney World when I was 14 and Disneyland when I was 23. I may return in the future.

  7. Watch Disney

    I was definitely going to vote for this, although I do like everything on the list! Haha. Great list!

    I'm 13, and I still watch Disney movies. My two favorites are Toy Story and The Lion King.

  8. Blow bubbles

    Bubbles have always fascinated me.

  9. Lick out the cake bowl

    I've never grown out of this, and it still ends up all over my mouth and cheeks.

    I'm never going to grow out of this. My siblings and I constantly fight over the bowl and spoon.

  10. Suck their thumb

  11. The Newcomers
  12. ?

    Use "The Force" to open automatic doors

  13. ?

    Smear cake on someone's face

    My relatives do that at every single birthday party that I have attended. We're Asian.

    One time one of my parents smeared a cupcake on my face.

  14. The Contenders
  15. Have a blankie

    I still go to bed every night with my blankie. No other blanket has been as soft on my face.

    A lot of "childish" things are good for your mental and physical health, though not candy. A lot of "adult" things are destructive. Having the money to buy healthy food and hygiene items is a good adult thing.

    Someone parenting when they never wanted to be a parent in the first place is destructive. Not speaking from experience, but it's overlooked.

    I have two receiving blankets from when I was born, and I'm almost 26. I don't sleep with them, I just keep them in the room. If I no longer had them, I would be lost in life.

  16. Watch childish shows

    I like Disney Jr.'s "Nina Needs to Go," and I'm almost 26.

  17. Splash through puddles

  18. Say "Jinx!" when you and a friend say the same thing at the same time

  19. Laugh at a fart

    My dad finds it hilarious when people fart.

  20. Play kids' video games

    Nintendo saved all video games. If it wasn't for Mario, video games would no longer exist. I will be an adult by the time Super Mario: The Movie comes out (not the 1993 movie). I'm still building up my DS and 3DS collection.

  21. Splash people

  22. Jump in the ball pit

    They have adult ones, did you know?

  23. Go to Chuck E. Cheese

    I love to ride the Ken Chuck E Derby horse!

  24. Avoid cracks

  25. Play with slime

    I actually made slime when I was a kid. I made it in school.

  26. Ride the carousel

    Carousels are for all ages, but mostly little kids ride them. I like riding them because I get to ride fake horses. It's fun!

    Carousels are not just for kids. There's this carousel at Knoebels with a brass ring, and adults flock to that ride.

  27. Daydream about meeting their prince or princess

    I've wanted to meet a prince or princess, in a platonic way only. When I was a kid, experiencing stories like that made me think that being in a romantic relationship was necessary, mandatory, and good for everyone.

    I don't even want a partner. Not everyone gets crushes. There's nothing wrong with that.

  28. Plead with their parents for things

  29. Play with toys

    I like to ride toddlers' rocking horses. They're fun!

    I play with Lalaloopsy dolls, and I'm 18. Oh yeah, I have a few at my house.
