teenagers and young adults can still be quite childlike and delightful.
My 20yr old DD has just got excited over a rainbow. Last summer she found a very tired bee in the street and brought it home and nursed it back to health with sugared water. My 17yr old DS likes to rescue birds and is so sweet and giving with an amazing sense of humour. I'm not boasting,of course my kids can be hormonal,moody brats at times but it's not all doom and gloom once kids reach their dreaded teens and wondered if any of you have examples of your teenagers cuteness Smile

I'm almost 30 and I get super excited when I see a squirrel or get to touch an animal. I often wonder when I'll feel like a real adult and am beginning to wonder if everyone else around me is faking it!

How lovely and hopefully they continue to find joy in the simple things!

Yes you’re so right. Your two sound lovely Smile

I am completely overjoyed every time I see a cat.

We met a lovely little tabby earlier on the street on the way home from the cinema. Made my day! I love every cat I see.

Lol Autumnleaves me too if I'm honest and I'm 43! Thankyou NoSauce they are........mostly. That's cute church I'm the same with dogs Blush IamTheChosenOne That article confused me a bit but I think it's warning about leaving sugared water out for any random passing bee,not that you shouldn't offer it to flagging ones.

I’m nearly 40, I met a soppy daft bull mastiff on my walk home from the bus today and he made me smile like a loon.

It’s good to appreciate the simple things, regardless of age :)

@autumnleaves15

I get excited about squirrels too! I had some in my garden so I took a photo to show my friend because I was so amazed. She was like "don't you always get squirrels in your garden? I do!" No. I do not!

Then my neighbour shooed them so I called her a spoilsport.

@EnglishRose13

I think your neighbour needs to be shooed away!

I saw one of the best rainbows I have ever seen last night on my way home from the gym
I pulled over to stop and take photos - just as I did another car pulled in to lay-by behind me to do the same - younger than me with two DDs with her - they were so transfixed that it brought a lump to my throat
