Oh, it isnβt just me thenβ¦
Every so often I still indulge in the "don't step on the cracks" game while walking along the street :-)
I literally did this just yesterday walking to the car from work. Then I had to figure out what actually constitutes as a "crack" and what is just a "purposeful indent' in the sidewalk. I decided that the indents that separate the squares in the sidewalk do not actually count as cracks and its ok to step on those.
Yes, but you're liable to break your dad's spine that way.
It's a habit at this point. Mentally I know it won't break my mama's back, but emotionally... emotionally, I -have- to step over it π

I love avatar the last airbender too. I havenβt found a show like it since. Besides that, I still like anime (though less nowadays because of some sexist parts)
π Coloring books. Dino nuggies. Chocolate milk. Cartoons. Plushies. Fairy tales.
Also, ATLA is amazing no matter what age you are π€©
Riding on the shopping cart like a scooter
Yes! I get many looks. Here's a late-thirties man with a bald head, gleefully grinning like a maniac while careening wildly down the parking lot aisle on a squeaky four-wheeled vehicle meant for vittles.
Late 20s here, same!
Sleeping with a teddy bear
Nothing wrong with sleeping with stuff animals.

Jumping in puddles. I almost never get the chance anymore, but if I have boots on and there's a puddle YOU BEST BE PREPARED
Yes. I can get behind this.
Got into Lego again a few years ago. It definitely has changed a lot since I was a kid in the previous millennium.
I also got back into Lego. I'm early 20s, so the sets of my childhood weren't that different from what's being made now.
But it is cool to finally have the Death Star and Millennium Falcon like middle school me fantasized about.
ATLA is awesome. Worth enjoying at any age.
I've got a decent collection of stuff animals. They're nice.
Words like fart, poop, boobies, etc.
Minecraft, though i'd like to see a child tangle with GregTech xD
sound effects with my mouth....engine noises, explosions, etc
- Magic School Bus. To this day there are a dozen episodes that cross my mind all the time.
- What my father calls "crap pasta" β animal or cartoon shaped noodles in a sauce that's 40% salt.
I thought there would be more, but nothing else is coming to mind.
rocking on a swing π
Blowing on dandelions and watching the seeds float away.
Responsible adults don't propagate weeds.
Well actually... Dandelions have a job. They soften the soil where it has become too dense.

Hurtling towards 30 so a youngun in your books.
But i like to whistle random melodies in public, communicate in weird noises with my partner at home, read YA fantasy (mistborn, assassins apprentice)..
Doing engine sound with my mouth
Skipping rocks. If I'm near a body of water and there's a flat stone anywhere near me in 100% skipping that thing. This never gets old
There's a distinction between child-ish and child-like. So far I haven't seen anyone say they enjoy anything child-ish (except maybe alternative song lyrics?), but all the lovely child-like responses warm my heart. I eat "sugar cereal" for dessert. Because I'm an adult and I can. Also, I make up silly songs all the time and talk to myself and my cats in silly voices.
I am a 38-year-old adult and I love Tamagotchis. Also Pokemon, anime, comic books, stickers, sitting on the floor, and using the shower wand as a microphone.
I'm quite childish. Still play video games, still watch cartoons more than live-action shows, still eat (now sugar-free) candy. What's going to happen? Are the grown-up police going to break into my house and demand that I turn in my adulting license and my pubes?
I like avatar as well. I watch it and Digimon occasionally.. and I love YA books as well.
I like American Girl dolls!
Coloring. I don't do it very often, but I always feel better after I do. Apparently it's a recommended activity for mental health: Mayo Clinic: Coloring is good for your health
I love my stuffed toys and old cartoons because its much more simpler. Also, shoujo manga (which I'd die before i admit irl)
I actually just started watching Avatar for the first time and I'm 35. Also been playing a game called Rumble. It's just like being an earth bender. Super fun, and I'm also really enjoying the show. I think I'll moved on to the legend of Korra after I finish.
You're all just being human. You're not childish, just being human.
Chicken fingers π£
There is nothing childish about loving Avatar the last Airbender. Every time I watch it I feel like a part of the target audience.
