    I'm 21 and today played with my nieces an nephews on a bouncy castle like a boss.:cool: So basically is your inner child alive and well or have you become a grumpy old man who takes everything way too seriously?

    A large proportion of any written account of my day to day life would be easily confused with that of a 10 year old if it were stripped of any references to my indulgence in coitus, narcotics, alcohol and baroque music.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,473 ✭✭✭✭Super-Rush


    I'm 30 and i have Superman jim jams.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,619 ✭✭✭ilovesleep


    I'm 29 and definately a big kid. I never grew out from computer games (thank christ!). I took up colouring and jig saws in big way lately. I want a box of lego for xmas.

    Doll houses - I want a large wooden doll house. And I want to furnish it. Expensive tough!

    I was dragged into monkey business in the summer and the kids dragged me into the ball pool. Great craic.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,572 ✭✭✭✭brummytom


    I've been a grumpy bastard since I was about 3.

    I'd love to be a big kid, but unfortunately I'm a small adult.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,024 ✭✭✭shannon_tek


    give me a train set and you will never see me again. :pac:

    fair play. I have superman pjs...and underwear & socks & t-shirts. My daughter has been trying to convince me that batman wins. We argued for half hour about batman v superman yesterday. (I always thought he was bitten by a bat)

    Your daughter managed to get a half hour Batman Vs Superman argument out of you when you believed this?

    You should listen to her.


  • Registered Users Posts: 334 ✭✭B_Fanatic


    Still have my childlike sense of wonder. Found a empty snail shell on the inside of my front door and nearly had a heart attack in amazement. "How'd he get in here and where'd he ****ing go!"


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,725 ✭✭✭charlemont


    Yea, I'm a big child, I get greatly amused at stupid things.

    I still like climbing stuff, I have teenage mutant ninja turtle bed covers, I still play computer games, hate peas and broccoli, dunno how to cook and sometimes I make funny noises with my mouth for no apparent reason.

    Well I don't have the tickles anymore, and AFAIK that's the first sign that your inner child is dead.

    Not a grumpy old man yet though, I'm still working on growing a penis. But I have grumpy old woman covered.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,679 ✭✭✭Freddie59


    Completely. Lots of things still fill me with wonderment and I can relate to kids across all ages.:D Love the stupidest of jokes. Got the John Terry one about Joe Frazier on Saturday and I was still laughing two hours later.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,929 ✭✭✭✭ShadowHearth


    I think I am. My two favourite channels are discovery and cartoon network.

    I notice one thing too. When I get my hands on new Argos catalog, first thing I do: go to the back of it where all toys start... I will go page by page and go: cool!!!

    Lego was my favourite toy. I checked few Legos out there and I really really wanted it :(. I bet if I say misses: let's buy some Legos for shots and giggles, she will ask me: do you want a van with huge sign " free candy "?!?!

    She will newer understand it :(

    Ask my niece and nephew and they'll probably put a mental age of about 11 on me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,279 ✭✭✭Lady Chuckles


    ... And this you ask the people of AH? :rolleyes:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,130 ✭✭✭Azureus


    Bouncy castles and trampolines are still the best things ever to me, so yes probably :D

    Although now they're usually coupled with alcohol and a lot more injuries-can suck the fun outta it pretty fast :P

    i want a bouncy castle :(
