These 25 things may be for littluns, but that doesn’t stop us from enjoying them!
Swing Sets

“Swings – makes me feel 5 years old again!”
“Playgrounds in general. Since becoming a dad, I can bring my kids to the playground and have fun with them on the slides, swings, monkey bars; most things.”
Going Up Stairs on All Fours

“Going up the stairs on all fours will always be fun.”
“I’m a huge advocate for climbing stairs on all fours, but I’m now imagining how horrifying it would be to see that in a public setting.”
Naps

“The older we get the better they are!”
“I live for my weekend naps. As a mom, I also need designated “quiet time” even if I can’t fall asleep for a nap.”
Cartoons

“Animated movies in general. I can still enjoy them. When I’ve had a rough day or if I’m just feeling down, I can put on something wholesome, funny, or nostalgic, and it makes me feel better.”
Stickers

“Never enough stickers. I had a bad childhood (like most of us), but stickers always made me happy, especially the fuzzy ones. Suddenly understanding why I’m still bonkers for stickers.”
Gaming

“According to my wife, ‘wasting time playing that stupid Nintendo.’ It’s a PS5, and I’m lucky if I can spend 2-3 hrs a week on it.”
Pokémon

“Started with Red when I was five and haven’t stopped since. Doubt I ever will. If anything, my enjoyment of Pokémon is becoming more childlike.”
“I’m in the same boat. To think people thought Pokémon was just going to be a fad when it came out. Now it’s the biggest media franchise in the world and will outlive us all.”
Goldfish Crackers

“It’s hard to resist when my niece has them for a snack. I make a big show about me being a shark and eating them so that I can have some.”
Disney

“I am a big, mean-looking 40-year-old man. I drove to work listening to the soundtrack to Moana.”
“Second big, mean-looking 40-year-old man here. I may or may not have sobbed on my way to work while kind of singing the soundtrack to Encanto this morning through my tears.”
Chocolate Milk

“There are large swathes of people out there who say milk in general, but especially chocolate milk is for kids. I don’t understand why, but they do.”
Skipping

“If you haven’t skipped in a while, do it. You’ll realize how much faster it is than walking and how much more ground you cover.”
Coloring

“Not craft paper high-end pencils adult coloring. Nope. Moana coloring book and the 64-count Crayola box.”
Making Friendship Bracelets

“I cannot stop making summer camp-style knotted friendship bracelets out of embroidery floss. It keeps my hands busy while I’m working/watching TV/traveling and I don’t get sucked into my phone.”
Cereals

“Breakfast cereals.. all of the fruity, sugar-filled candy-like cereals. It is totally my weekend treat—nothing during the week. Fruity Pebbles (Dino Bites now. Post changed the recipe a while back) is totally my jam. Who doesn’t like destroying the roof of their mouth on some Cap’n Crunch?”
Chocolate Chip Pancakes

“I was given grief for getting them instead of more ‘adult’ options like blueberry or regular pancakes by some in my family, but why would I not want Chocolate Chip?”
Slime

“I love buying fun slimes from small, independent shops. The scents, the textures, the concepts… All so wonderful. I have so much slime.”
Being Immature

“45(m) laughing at farts. Mine or otherwise. Also, my girlfriend has some pipes and belches like a champ. I never fail to laugh.”
The Muppets

“The Muppets – the last movie wasn’t great. But I like everything else (even the 30 Rock type reboot).”
Power Rangers

“Started watching it when Mighty Morphin Power Rangers debuted in the 90s and just never stopped. I also keep up with Super Sentai (the Japanese franchise it’s based on) nowadays.”
Toys

“Nerf guns. If you could see my collection and how many hundreds of hours I poured into the hobby, you’d think, ‘oh my’”.
GI Joe
“Mom only wanted to buy me girlie stuff like Barbies, and the only Joes she bought me was Lady Jaye and Lifeline because “he seemed nice.” I Had to play with my boy best friend, who had a complete collection.”
Kid Food

“Turkey Dinosaurs or Dino nuggets, as I’ve heard others call them. If my son has them, I’m having them too.”
“Kraft Dinner and KoolAid. I’m pretty sure it’s all chemically engineered food stuff with no actual food, but it’s delish.”
Kids Movies

“Kids movies, like the Parent Trap and Freaky Friday (I love the original with Jodie Foster). I’ve been rewatching old favorites for a mood boost, and many still hold up. It’s nice to be able to put something PG rated in the family room and not have to worry about my parents walking in on the embarrassing moments or getting bothered by swearing.”
Comic Books

“My son was really into Dr Strange when he was eight or so, and we read the comics together. Now he’s moved on, and I just dropped $200 on a Green Lantern omnibus.”
Lego

“I’d really like just to buy myself a big LEGO Technic set I dreamed of having as a kid (you know, those big cars, trucks, or other construction equipment) and just build it. Unfortunately, even though I can afford it, it still seems like a waste of money to me. Stuff costs the same as a new Apple watch!”
