What childhood fun do you still sometimes take part in?

Mar 30, 2012 2:53 AM

back long ago when we were children (even though some of us were told "you were old when you were five") we use to do things that we have now given up as "adults". which ones do you still enjoy when no one is looking? doing a cartwheel thru the sprinklers? an extra helping of icecream on a hot day? hugging a favorite plushie? imagining what a trip to the moon might be? something else?

I just made a blanket fort with my friends kids. Also I own toys intended for 2-3 year olds that I bought for myself. I'm a child.

Ice cream and amusement parks.

Cedar Point is the best!

Jumping on the bed...it's the first thing I do when we check into a hotel :)

@ohcheri: but knowing you and your hubby and your business i can't help but wonder if this form of jumping is the same one you did when you were five.

Never pass up an opportunity to blow bubbles, esp. with all the fun bubble guns and glasses (so you can see them in 3d!) or try to keep a hula hoop going around.

I sleep with a cuddle pillow (Brobee from Yo Gabba Gabba-- I love the show.). I love running through the sprinkler. Drawing with chalk on the sidewalk. If I lived near a beach I would love to build sandcastles.

I'm basically a little kid in a grown up's body.

I consider myself a tall kid with a big allowance and no curfew.
I decorate my house with Mr Potato Heads and Lego models, often season appropriate. Which means I get to play with my toys and call it "redecorating". I keep silly putty, yo-yos and juggling balls around and regularly use them. I love to blow bubbles and even took some to the bus stop when meeting my nephew at the bus a few weeks ago (he's in 3rd grade). I got there early and spent some time sitting on the sidewalk chatting with the other big people, blowing bubbles. I like to draw dinosaurs, especially when I get out my big box of 100+ crayons. I've been known to skip through store parking lots and go visit the playground to play on the swings or go down the slide. I'm seriously considering renting out a bouncy house place for my birthday.

This work is a serious, difficult place at times. There are a lot of serious, responsible things that we all have to do. That just makes it more important to goof off and have fun.

@gt0163c: got a debate going in my house: are you male or female? and is the a significant other residing with you?

my dh and i have the entire house decorated in garfields and mr. potatoheads. as the season changes the wreath on the door gets different characters in it-flag waving for fourth of july, pumpkin wearing for thanksgiving, etc. and yes, there are even a few plushies that share the bed.

@moosezilla: I'm female. And I don't currently have a significant other.

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
