What's the most childish thing you do?

Spent today with some nieces, nephews and their folks.

After an afternoon of boring activities McDonalds was choosen as a place to nourish ourselves much to my displeasure (I wanted Flanagans next door:() and so in we went.

So everyone's chatting away. Adults having adult conversations and the kids fighting over the size of each other's portion of fries and who got the better Happy Meal Toy.

I'm just dying to get them all home so I can go see a movie and rest and just as I'm hushing the kids and saying 'Just share the toys they are all the same now come on .. ehh " :eek:

My eyes lock onto what my nephew has!!

He only has small C3PO toy and is pressing a button it that is projecting three inch sized images of Darth Vader, Yoda, Princess Leah onto the wall :eek:

My niece has a Yoda that you ask questions to and shake to get a response like a Magic 8 Ball and my other nephew has a double ended lightsaber that lights up.

All the adults are oblivious to all this and chatting away and I'm sitting there wishing to f**k that I got a Happy Meal.

So I did

I said I was just popping down to get another Coffee and when I was there, I leaned into the guy on the till and said 'Can I get three Happy Meal's without the boxes?' "Sure" he says.

Then I siad 'And can you make sure I have three different toys with each one as my nephew's up there going mad cause he keeps getting the same ones' and rolled my eyes and smiled. "No problem" he says

So I go back up with three cheeseburgers, fries and drinks and say 'Here ya go kids' - all the adults look at me as much as to say 'You gave us a lecture about how McDonalds was junk food and now your ..'

So anyway, now I have a (Gravity Defying) Star Wars Spaceship, (Magic 8 Ball) Yoda and the (Light Projecting) C3PO

So as the title says ..

What's the most childish thing you do or partake in?

Pretty much everything. I'm a really big child. Me and one of my friends even got up really early one saturday morning and watched some old cartoons like spider man and teenage mutant ninja turtles. Then topped it off with some good old streets of rage on the megadrive. It was ****ing awesome.

I've got so many it's hard to choose one, I do love to eat my little nephews rusks/ligas when my brother brings them to our house.

Not too sure on mine, will have a good think and come back to it, however my dad did the following:

Bought one of those massive trampolines with a safety net and a swing set with sea-saw etc on it. This wouldn't be so bad but he bought it when I was 21 and had moved out of the house......and I'm the youngest child, plus my nephew wasn't even a twinkle in my brother's eye at the time.

*If my dad had any knowledge of computers I would be checking his saved images files to alert the gardai about him.

Tell me about it.

When ever I buy kids gifts for birthdays or Christmas I inevitably buy something that I want to have a go of too

Just recently I bought my nephew Top Cat DVDs and I watched the whole Box Set.

If TopCat had've been available as a Username then I would taken it

Not if the question is "Gerry and Kate, which one of your children would you kill if you needed a pint?"

Too far??

I had one last saturday night at 3:30 after a 70's fancy dress night. Drove down to the 24 hour shop with my g.f and I was even dressed up as austin powers for it too.

I was delighted to get a toy you have to build, it makes me sad in my heart me when it comes ready made. I got a dinosaur (not really a fan of them)but I had to put it's legs/arms on him...my g.f got one pre-made, it was a dinosaur half in/half out of an egg.....she called him Oliver and he now lives in her handbag

I'm about 25 years older than their target demographic, but sometimes, when there's no one else in the house, I like to put on the spongebob squarepants movie

tman · 04-12-2009 09:55AM

Was racking my brains trying to think of something, then I realised that I've just opened day 4 of my advent calender this morning and I'm snuggled up in bed with my girlfriend's teddy bear ("Winston", if you must know...)

If I eat meat, I'd totally be going into McDonalds this afternoon too!:p

I sometimes watch the kids movies i used to watch when i was younger.

c - 13 · 04-12-2009 10:09AM

Still watch kids cartoons

I have a bit of a love for nostalgia as well, have all the kids films and a lot of the shows I used to watch on DVD. Its farily shocking looking back at haw crap a lot of them really were.

Its good though herself is 3 years younger than me so I had her watching the likes of The Goonies and The princess bride for the first time.
