What is a childish thing you still do while being an adult?
When running up the stairs in my house, I run as if I'm a four-legged monkey.

I won't step on cracks in the sidewalk, don't want to harm my mama..
I do this sometimes, too. It's not about breaking anyone's back; it just feels wrong standing on the lines when there are line-free areas to walk on.
Giggle at adult stuff. Seriously, I've tried to watch porn with the spouse, and can't stop laughing.
That's when those silly porn parodies really shine tbh.
I sometimes swing on the swings at the playground in the park when I'm taking my housemate's dog out for a walk.
If that's childish, I don't want to be an adult.
My girlfriend likes to tell me that I’m a 13 year old trapped in a 30 year olds body.
I game religiously which still has some stigma of being childish despite the average gamers age is late 20s or early 30s now.
Dirty, immature jokes never get old.
Bouncing boobs will always get me to stare
I don't think staring (well, I'll say look, I'd agree staring is childish) at bouncing boobs is childish thing, I think it's really more just a straight male thing. At least I hope not. Maybe you get more acclimated to it post-puberty, but I don't think guys ever stop noticing.
Likewise, gaming now has more international revenue than film, and 60% of all Americans play some sort of game. I don't think anyone anymore thinks gaming is childish.
Not trying to shoot down your ideas outright, but may be worth reconsidering what exactly is "childish".
Are we... related? :D
No, but it's likely that you both fall into the majority demographic here on Tildes: heterosexual young men under 30 with a strong interest in gaming and computer technology.
Quite possible
I got a big family
I jump around happy when friend comes over.
Also I ignore shelves with alcohol and olives in stores as "adult food".
And if there are only a few steps to walk down, or I run downstairs happy, I jump with force over the rest of stairs and land on both legs.
I take it a step further. My apartment has split levels with 5 stairs between each level, so I can grab onto the railings and vault myself between landings.
If I'm not controlling myself strictly, I find myself watching people around like when I was 7yrs old when I'm walking outside or in a bus or something. Generally as a twenty something, I'm yet to internalise this not being a kid anymore thing. I look like an adult from the outside, but inside, it's a totally different story...
I'm almost 49, professionally successful, kids are in their mid-late-20's, own a house, no debt except mortgage, have 2 years in emergency fund...
And almost every day I ask myself, "When am I going to feel like an adult".
I'm the same age my dad was when I was 18 and he appeared more grown up than I do. It wasn't till about a year before he passed in 2011, that I asked him when he felt like an adult and he said "I still don't".
Man these responses are so wholesome. My childish behaviors are all negative, like whining and pouting when my so doesn't make pancakes like I like them.
I'm constantly fighting the I don't wanna impulse - that's part of childhood that no one really escapes.
Does Lego count as childish? Cause I still build a ton of that,on top of playing my Gameboy and/or DS on a regular basis.
IDK, depends on the Lego maybe.
I have the 1000+ piece Hulkbuster collectors piece on my Christmas list, and I really hope I get it. I'm almost 30, lol. I dream of someday owning the Lego Helicarrier or UCS Millennium Falcon. I'm not sure I'd let a child play with them, but then again that also seems kinda wrong...
I've got the UCS Millenium Falcon it's dang huge (but also probably my favourite Lego set thus far), so yeah I guess that qualifies :) - But I hadn't even seen the hulkbuster yet, and now I want it too!
Can't tell if joke or if someone else with IBD....
Ahh well in that case, as someone with IBD, I feel your pain
I hate coffee and similarly bitter things.
I hate coffee too. And beer.
Disney. Gotta watch every new disney movie. At least once... over and over again if I like it.
does buying my daughter a skateboard mostly so I could also get one count? we now cruise about together learning how to skate.
She is way better at the street board than I ever was or will be so I prefer to stick to the long board.
Also every chance I get I lick my wife's cheek
This might sound somewhat cheesy, but there's so much in the world to be bitter and depressed over and it sometimes feels like the world is getting to just be more and more complex, but I try to laugh and smile as much as I can.
Of course, there are still responsibilities to be done, but if I can take the time to seek out poetry that allows me to smile; watch anime that makes me laugh; or pout and complain when my sports team loses --- then I think that's what gives me the most joy in life. Sometimes, it's not the actions that I do persay, but the emotions that I feel are the same from when I was a child.
Being childishly stubborn and refuse to do things. Like, will not budge under any circumstance. Just for random things. Just because. I like exercising my right to say no to whatever, whenever, and stay by it. Reminds me that it is I who decide whether I will do something or not.
