    I was mad about soldiers when I was a child and always wanted to be a soldier, so I guess that every day is a childhood day for me.. I still love being a soldier.

    I still love climbing tree's and walls.

    Eating an Easter Egg was before the big day itself, had a £1 one last night.
    Blaming my sister for stuff when we’re both home at Xmas.

    Winnie the Pooh, I cried at the trailer for the last movie, no idea why are but he’s a lovable little bollix.

    The recent Bumblebee Transformers movie. The first 15 mins alone were better than all the movies before it. Felt like Saturday morning cartoons again.

    Kids movies are still my favourite type of movie to watch.


    I also sometime give my son a handlebars on his bike.
    Him on the handlebars, me cycling. I'm not even like a cool dad, i'm a woman so we probably look bonkers together.


    A few weeks ago in Ikea, he asked me could he push me on a trolly around the shop. so if anyone happened to see that scene, it was me!

    Given how popular super hero movies are and the hype for Avengers:End Game, I'd say there are a lot of adults out there who still embrace their inner child :D

    Loving the re-run of Space 1999 currently on Forces TV.

    Pity its not HD as I have the Network DVD boxset of S1, picture is better than forces tv's sd feed.

    I realise reading this that my long long ago childhood was somewhat lacking in .....fun.... Used to love running on beaches and doing cartwheels but alas no more...Will have to think about this!

    I wave at random people while passing in a car and pretend I am excited to see them only to be met with bewildered looks and the odd wave back. It still makes me laugh.

    As a kid I use to hind behind doors & cupboards, waiting patiently for what felt like hours to give a family member a fright by jumping out at them. Still do it now although I usually now get a few digs for my efforts

    I still do this to my missus too. Phone in hand recording to catch her reaction. Many a dig received! Also bought a zombie mask at Halloween to scare the kids knocking on the door for sweets, wore it walking down the stairs one morning to frighten the missus, she got such a fright she started to cry, thought I was a burglar! Oops! :D

    I still get great craic from kicking my way through a pile of fallen leaves. Having grandchildren I can still engage in many childish activities without fear of strange looks or bewilderment.

    That's one of my happiest memories with my Grandfather. Kicking our way through the leaves while walking the dog, chatting about the birds and trees or making up stories, and making a point of introducing the dog to any other dogs we'd meet. :)

    Is playing computer games considered childish?
    I would consider it very childish.

    Jumping in muddy puddles. I’m a devil for that.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 24,745 ✭✭✭✭Tell me how


    Animal Slippers at Christmas.
    Have a pair of Bear head ones which I think are class. They spend the rest of the year with the decorations.
    Brother and I still occasionally tell tales on each other to our Mother like we expect her to step in and adjudicate. (him and I have a combined age of 78 and just to be clear, they are always exaggerated/made up scenarios, we do behave like adults most of the time)

    Gummy bears

    Historical Wargaming (but on my computer these days)

    I like driving through Painstown in Kildare and putting on a wwf voice in my head saying I'M TAKING YOU TO PAINSTOWN! and then giggling like a kid.
    It's the simple pleasures...

    “There are crocodiles in the sitting room, everyone climb on the couch/table/chair!!!”

    Added bonus of throwing my daughters teddies in and going to rescue them.
