How often do you NOT feel like a grown up?

Got to work this morning and realised there's a large hole in the seam of my dress. No emergency sewing kit, no safety pins to be found anywhere, so I've had to staple it closed until I get home (where I will promptly forget until the next time I wear it and have the same issue)

Feel like a child right now.

I love watching you-tube mindlessly eating sweeties, laughing out loud at nonsense!

I also would live in my converses, jeans and a t-shirt with some kind of cartoon strip across it, if the weather would permit.

I love wearing my wellies too!

I get excited about sparkly eyeshadow Shock especially blue!
I love kiddy books (currently trying to get DS into peter rabbit books as I love Jemimah puddle duck)

have lots of odd socks and wear them together.

always add too much soap when washing up just to see how big the bubbles will get.

often sprinkle/ flick the cat with water to see his ears move Grin

wipe DH's toothbrush with hand soap when he's annoying me.

I could go on Grin

I complained to my exH that the Betterware lady spoke to me like I was a child as I carefully coloured between the lines in the colouring book with my tongue between my teeth.

I gallop around the house and try to kick OH's bum.

I hide and jump out at my daughter shouting "Rah"

I bounce on daughter's bed as it's gloriously firm. won't be for much longer if I continue

I laugh if someone trips over.

Given the chance I would shop like my parents went away for the weekend - nothing to make a meal from but crisps, chocolate, haribo and a bottle of wine because I'm a grown up. Grin

I answer the phone saying "meow?"

I can belch fuck off

Hullo - what a glorious thread! We're just going to move this to another topic so it doesn't go pooft.

I just snuck past the kids eating oat bran in the dining room, smuggling Cadbury Mini Eggs into my bedroom to eat for breakfast. If anyone asks why I didn't sit at the table I'll make some martyred comment about being too busy.

I think I have found my spiritual home Grin

I play on the swings at the park when I take DS and try and swing up and over the bar. I also hang upside down from the monkey bars and push the roundabout too fast.

I currently live with my parents so when they are away for the weekend I buy pizza for dinner and eat it in the living room (carpet picnic)

I love wrestling and watch it religiously - like grown ups do with soaps - and I practice my moves on DP and DS even though it says don't try this at home cos I'm a rebel

I splash in puddles

i steal fags from my parents and smoke them outside so noone knows (I am meant to have quit )

my fave clothes are my gig clothes and I am sad that I don't have any huge skater jeans any more!

I own more Marvel merchandise than anything else, and am obsessed with my girl boxers with various cartoon characters on.

I am so pleased I have found this thread - I sometimes look at my DCs and wonder why I have been allowed to keep them Grin Wink

Whenever my boss 'tells me off'.
Then its back to little girl in headmasters office all over again (which I seemed to do a lot of.....)

My goodness just the place; you know those round-seat-on-pole things in playgrounds? can't find a pic- was in a deserted playground with the littlies yesterday, casually sat in it, turned it a little each way using just core, worked well kept doing it started whole revolutions, dd2 happily playing secure area, somehow lost control seat must've flown round 50 times aware of joggers and proper mums going by, me wondering how I was ever going to stop! aware that if I leapt off Id flatten dd2 & dd3 and possibly clear fence! experimented with pointing leg downwards a bit nonchalantly and eventually I was able to see again and jump off
then lurch drunkenly around playground when we got home I sent sainsbos a polite tweet about parking coz I'm a grown up, me Wink
