Happy Birthday, and keep on doing what makes you feel good. Age is only a number. :)

nope, I'm 42 and love shooting my kids with nerf guns. Play with legos all the time too. LOVE blowing away the 14 yr olds on COD on xbox live. Love having parties and doing shots, particularly jagermeister dropped into a glass of redbull.

No, you're not too old. Age is how a person thinks/believes. Life is too short and for some, maybe most? full of strife, why not have fun while you can. I especially love reading about older folks 50 + who either go back to school, try a new sport, jump out of planes, or anything considered for the younger crowd. Besides youth is wasted on the young, lol. I hope you continue to have as much fun as you can! I am one of those older folks and still enjoy the same things I did when I was young, dancing, gaming, etc. and hope to jump out of a plane myself.

Hey, you just keep doing what makes you happy. I just turned 51 on the 4th and am more active than I ever was in my "youth." Other than getting discounts on goods and services, age is just a number.

As I've gotten older, I may have gotten wiser, though perhaps not.

Regardless, one thing that stands out whenever I think about my age and how I feel about it is this: I don't feel old.

When I was 20, 30 was old. When I turned 30, it turned out it wasn't "old" and so 40 became the new old. Well, 40 came and went and I never felt old. Now I'm about three weeks from turning 49 and I still don't feel old, so I'm not going to worry about it.

BTW- Happy Birthday!

You're only young once...... but you can be immature forever. I have a friend who's almost 30, married, has two kids and if you ask if he's seen a movie, his first response is "Does it have boobies in it?" That's how immature he is, but when it comes to his kids, or something serious, he puts on his grown-up face. IMO, as long as you don't let that immaturity interfere negatively with other aspects of your life (job, significant other, etc), then play with all the Nerf guns you want. The key is knowing when you're allowed to be a kid and when you have to act like an adult. Your party sounded awesome btw and is a great example of a time when being a kid playing with Nerf guns is perfectly acceptable.

I bet you find darts floating around constantly. And no You're not to old. I was part of a wedding party and when I entered the reception I shot the guests up with a nerf gun.

He was just jealous he didn't have a cool party like that. Good job! Good times!

I honestly think kid-at-heart parents are the best parents out there. But there are things that should or shouldn't be done (common sense).

Should
- Nerf battles

Shouldn't
- Dress as teenager

and so on..

We've all grown up to more and more playful things such as gadgets, music, toys and other youthful things than older generations have.

That co-worker who said you're too old to be playing with nerf guns is just jealous of you man... I'd say you shoot him point blank with one someday.. kidding.

Plus they made Dave and Busters for a reason!

You can't be too old for Nerf guns. I am not too old, and sixty five is staring me in the face. It's all about what's inside.

Your coworker is old. We are all sorry for him. Well, sort of.

Last year, I decided I was tired of the screaming monkeys, and decided to give them all away. I gave some of the more special ones (like the glow in the dark ones) to the grandkids of friends, but most of them I just took in a box to the post office. I gave some of them to the people that work behind the counter (because I knew they'd love them), and the rest to anyone waiting in line that wanted one. It was some serious fun. There are still random people that stop me and say thanks.

You just can't have too much fun. Not possible.

Next Nerf party, I'm inviting myself. Can I wear my hockey mask?

Well, I AM fifty, (actually, 51), and I still love acting like a "kid". Ignore those who think age has to match up with activities. I think I will go ride some roller coasters next weekend or so.

You won't be too old for the things you enjoy until you're dead. Unless you enjoy being dead.

@philey: You beat me to it. :) Glad someone else thought of this bit too.

Too old? Never. That just means you can afford a better arsenal.

I have a Y chromosome, and therefore am exempt from maturing.

Growing old is mandatory, growing UP is optional.

Nerf is cool, but I prefer my 'Super-Duper-Super-Soaker' - a water fire-extinguisher. 2 1/2 Gal at 100psi is incredible.

Just have fun in life.
Sometimes 'acting like a kid' is fun.
As long as you enjoy it, I say keep on doing it.

After puberty you are too old to be childish. But you are never too old to be childlike. It's a blessing that we should all treasure.

Never, people with closed minds should generally be ignored.

I go for the blaster balls. The guns are awkward, but I like the ammunition. They don't break or get damaged as easily.
