What mildly childish things make you disproportionately happy?

[Nocti]

I just had some chocolate milk and it was ace Ridiculously so.

What slightly childish things make you really, really happy?

Water parks and rope swings. At 50+ I really should know better.

@infuriatedatthisshitshow Yes to writing in pencil!

Ah, the 2p machines!! I love!!

Big slides.

Sandcastles.

This is a happy thread!!

Yes to puddle jumping, strawberry laces, walking barefoot in grass.

Also:

Watching Rosie and Jim (I do this very occasionally, when ill. I like the one when they paint the watering can ).

Eating flying saucers even though they don't really taste of much.

Little triangle sandwiches.

Kicking leaves in the autumn
Sticking my fingers up behind our awful neighbours back
Jumping in puddles
Jelly and icecream

Water fights
99s from the ice cream van
Watching caterpillars grow in to butterflies in the kit I bought the kids that they weren't that interested in but I spent hours watching

@FTMF30 yes to sticking my fingers up behind someone's back when they have been a knob!

Playmobil!

Being stupid while playing board games- driving the boat through the monopoly board, or repeatedly knocking dds dog character over and telling her it died.

Listening to kids TV themes from when I was a kid - Tots TV anyone?

Watching clouds

Oh, also, arranging the people in my dolls house and getting DP to come and see what they're up to. There are an awful lot of them, the house is definitely overcrowded.

@iklboo
I love the hair do

@sleepyhead
That is not childish , that us the only way to eat jaffa cakes.

Soap bubbles and balloons bring out the kid in me

@Bloodybridget we need to see these!

Not having to get out of a swimming pool to go to the toilet.

Oh yes , I prefer writing in pencil too, in fact I always do when I can .
Though it took some explaing when I was going over the minutes I took in a very formal meeting with a work mate.

Cheesy puffs

Wotsit sandwiches. I have rediscovered them during lockdown and they bring me such joy

Glittery stickers. The really glittery ones with that really fine iridescent glitter. They speak to something deep in my soul.

Also trampolines. I fucking LOVE a good trampoline. (Props to my pelvic floor).

What are Haribo Tangfastics - why can't I get them? Are they lost in translation?

Shaped post-it notes, scented stationery ❤️

😊my stationary
Chocolate milkshake
Malory towers st Claire’s books on kindle
Anything neon

Oh yes I forgot my 'things'

notebooks
cacti

My toddler farting. Sometimes I worry he'll do himself a mischief trying to force one out to make me laugh.

@sleepyhead literally just done that

Eating those small box of kids cereals, love the coco pops!
