I'm basically still a kid because...

[ASTalumna06]

After reading the cereal discussion going on in the D&R Random thread, I figured I'd start this thread so we could all list the things we still do today as adults that we also did when we were younger.

I'm basically still a kid because...

- I love cereals like Lucky Charms, Fruity Pebbles, and Trix (and I pick out all the blue ones and throw them out!)

- I eat fruit snacks (more specifically, strawberry fruit roll ups), and I still call them "red chewy things", which is what my mom called them when my brother and I were really young

- I love to color! I would be completely entertained for an entire day if someone just gave me crayons and a coloring book

- One word: Legos!

-I'm the size of a child. Seriously. I haven't grown since the 8th grade and I can fit a 14 in the little girls section. I still fit my school uniform from 5th grade as well

-I'm addicted to candy. Sweet, sour, chocolate, with nuts or without, i'm in.

-Getting me to drink any sort of cough syrup is out of the question and I will avoid it at all costs, which is odd because I don't mind getting shots at all, but cough syrup? no way.

All this!

And if I need a quiet place to study or relax, I am not ashamed to make a blanket fort. That is where I often end up during finals and will probably be where the majority of my dissertation is written.

I have to resist buying those huge boxed snacks from Costco because if I do, they'll be gone in a day!

I love cartoons, scooby doo, the smurfs. I also love Mac and cheese as well as those toto os pizzas, that I called cardboard pizzas cause they come in cardboard boxes. I also still love laying on the floor with pillows. I get called immature a lot by some of my friends, but I just say they are jealous cause they are not comfortable doing these things.

- I binge-watch Degrassi.

- I sometimes sing "Grown Ups Come Back" from Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood. (I do not have children)

- Other songs I sing: the theme song to "Mysterious Cities of Gold" and "Silverhawks"

- I, too, eat sugary cereals like Lucky Charms and Trix

- I pick things up with my feet.

Original or New Generation? I'm assuming the former but figured I should ask.

So funny you posted this. I was just musing over how I still can't iron a shirt. Pants, skirts, I'm OK on. But not shirts.

Every winter since I have been a homeowner, I've tried to build a snow cat on my front lawn. Not a snowman, a snow cat. (Yup... I'm a cat person.) I was disappointed this year because, although we got a shitload of snow, it was mostly the light fluffy type - not packing snow.

Seeeee I can't iron my pants "with creases." They always come out crooked!

I frequently find myself humming or "dooo-do-do"-ing to the theme song from 'Doug'.

...this is odd? If so, I guess I should add this to my list as well. No, I refuse. I'm going to rock my toe dexterity.

I:

*Am a picky eater. I try not to pout if there are red peppers, carrots, bacon, squash, or mushrooms in my food (...for starters...), but it's a challenge.

*Separate colored candies (like M&Ms) into color piles and eat the piles one by one, leaving the green ones until last.

*Still want the corner piece of cake with all of the frosting. (In fact, sometimes my sister and I fight over it, and we are 40 and 38 respectively.)

*Hate going to bed. I was always the kid who begged for 5 more minutes, and now I'm a grownup (supposedly) and nobody makes me go to bed. Of course, I then struggle out of bed late every morning.

This is me, too! In the morning, I think, "That's it.. TONIGHT I'm going to bed early"….. and then nighttime comes, and I think, "Eh, what's another half hour… and another.. and another…" and then the cycle starts all over again the next day

- Love candy. LOVE candy. Anything Haribo will do.

- Love playing boardgames and pout when I lose.

Next Generation (2001 to present). I watched the originals many times over when they came on PBS and again when they came out on DVD. But I am finding that I missed a lot of the first seasons of TNG. (But I have faithfully watched when they first aired since about the time JT got stabbed to death.)
