What is a fun childish thing you still do as an adult? (midwest.social)

For me, it's sticking my hand out of the window of a moving car. Whether I'm driving or not, I love having the windows down and waving my hand in the wind. I've loved it since I was a child and I'll never stop doing it!

One of the girls I was dating forgot to hide her stuffed animals when I came over for a movie night. She was embarrassed, but I thought it was really sweet. It shows the more human aspect of people :)

When I started dating my current BF years later, and saw that he had two stuffed animals on his bed that he sleeps with each night, I knew he was a keeper!

That is really sweet. In the past, I've thought it was a little weird when adults have security blankets and stuffed animals they sleep with, but you are totally right that it shows their humanity. Everyone has a need to feel safe, especially at night, and if that comfort comes from a stuffed animal, so be it!
