I have my sandwiches cut into 4 triangles everyday.

I love an Easter egg hunt: my DH does one for me every year.

I like to sit on the top deck of the bus, especially in the seat over where the driver sits.
Walking in a straight line on a curb, like it's a tight rope.
Eating mashed banana sandwiches.

Avoid the cracks on the pavements 🐊

Sleep with a teddy but it is mostly because, being big of boob, it’s comfortable to rest them on Grin

BilledLotteri · 22/12/2019 21:44

Play the sims. I’d still play make believe games if I had someone to play with.

AlwaysOnAbloodyDiet · 22/12/2019 21:45

Loads....

I still eat with a teaspoon - I never graduated to a tablespoon

Get grumpy when hungry

nomorespaghetti · 22/12/2019 21:49

Crawl up the stairs on all fours Grin
Sleep with a teddy

MacavityTheDentistsCat · 22/12/2019 21:56

Puddles. Well, they're just made for jumping in, aren't they? Grin

AlwaysOnAbloodyDiet · 22/12/2019 22:07

I sleep with the ensuite light on if dh is away

PuddleglumtheMarshWiggle · 22/12/2019 22:08

Do cartwheels and handstand in the garden.
I'm 56 and although I enjoy it some of the fun now is just to make sure I can do it.
I love fancy dress and have 2 dressing up boxes. I love fancy dress parties, murder mystery evenings or any chance to dress up!

Sweetpeach3 · 22/12/2019 22:08

I literally puss my sides at you've been framed and the tekishkies castle hahahahaha
I find so much humour in people hurting themselves 🤷🏼‍♀️

Egghead68 · 22/12/2019 22:10

Feed the ducks.

For short dashes to the shops, or into the garden, I like to wear clothes inappropriate for the weather, because there's nobody to tell me off, and I can take the consequences. Shorts in the snow, flip flops in the rain, bare feet in the muddy garden. I frequently wear trainers without socks, in summer and winter; I loved doing so as a kid as well.

I love being told to close my eyes for a surprise, or a present - as long as it's someone I trust!

travellover · 22/12/2019 22:16

I still hide behind the door when my fiancé's coming in so I can scare him Grin

Mopmum35 · 22/12/2019 22:16

WOW so many thumb suckers👍 I'm also one of them🤭 ( 36 next year)
I also still hide under my covers if I hear a noise at night! Hmm

Mopmum35 · 22/12/2019 22:17

@travellover i will have to try that! Grin

Greenteandchives · 22/12/2019 22:18

I always arrange soft toys in shops so they are by their friends and can see out. I sometimes have to buy ones that look lonely or scared. I once bought a small bear on his own in a basket of toy dogs because he looked frightened.
I have far too many soft toys.

purplemunkey · 22/12/2019 22:23

Make a ghost sound when I’m changing the sheets. Even if I’m on my own.

How can anyone have their hands in the corners of a duvet cover and NOT hold them up and say ‘Oooooooooo’?

Trees2905 · 22/12/2019 22:27

I have a blanket with a silky edge that I stroke. When I’m stressed about work I’ve been known to take it in the car with me and have it on my lap. I’m 36.

Justmuddlingalong · 22/12/2019 22:29

I fart and always say "I'll name that tune in 3."

Craftycorvid · 22/12/2019 22:30

Dementedma. Me too with monsters under the bed! Grin

SingingMyOwnSpecialSong · 22/12/2019 22:34

Have pillow/soft toy fights. Love playing with Lego and marble runs. Randomly skip or run along the path. I’m a nanny so get plenty of opportunities to indulge my inner child.
