[Laurie]

I forgot suckers! I love tootsie pops--especially grape and watermelon suckers too!

 

[eroomlorac]

Play Do----the real brand name one. I have to smell it!! And have taught my granddaughter to always smell the Play Do, too.

Crayolas----Must be Crayola brand. I love to smell them, too. So does my granddaughter.

Riding a bike.....very fun for me.

I love wearing t-shirts and jeans. My father 'scolds' me all the time for not dressing like a grown woman. In fact, I just got a very bright tye-dyed t-shirt and my kids rolled their eyes at me.

Playing with my animals. My Mother always thought I should have outgrown that, too.

I also like having the 'latest item'. Whether it be a new food, new toy (for the granddaughter), new laundry detergent, etc. My kids always laugh at me because I'll see a commercial for some new product and I'll search the stores until I find it.

When my kids were young, they were my excuse to continue to act young. I was just 'playing with the kids'. It's what good Mom's did, right? Now I have the excuse of my 3 year old granddaughter. We sit and color together, make 'snakes' with Play Do, blow bubbles, catch lightening bugs, etc.

And yes, I agree with pranks, too. We're always pranking each other at work. When someone goes to the bathroom, we hold the door shut so they can't open it when they want to come out. We dance and sing around work, too, even if we have no talent for either. We scare each other as we come around a corner, hide each other's lunches, etc. We are soooo immature but we are very close and open with each other. My co-workers are like my siblings or children, depending on their age in relation to mine.


And Alli, I challenge you to a water gun fight! I'll have to go out and buy the latest in water guns, first, though. :rofl:

Smelling markers.. All kinds the scented, unscented, permanent, highlighters, dry erase(I get in trouble for smelling these)

Coloring books and crayons. If I go to a restaurant with menus for kids that you can color on I always demand I get one. I was told once that I couldnt have one because I was too old and had to ask for the manager and asked why they allowed their employees to practice ageism. (i.e. pitch a fit.. like a child... so I guess that goes here too!)

Water balloon fights.

Laying outside watching clouds go by and trying to figure out what they look like.

Lick and stick tattoos.

Playing tag.. although I play with the dogs now rather than actual humans.

[Parkerspetchins]

I have a son who I love to play with and my favorite toys are Legos and Transformers (I rock at transforming them) but I also love animals so I have my own Littlest Pet Shop collection to play with because even though he plays with me it's not cool for a boy to own them . I also have some Polly Pockets that are mine, mine, mine! I am all about the candy as well but I don't think it's childish, just yummy . I love stuffed animals too (only the fake kind lol).

 

[AlbertaGirl]
