My yard is is full of leaves and for the past few days I have been meaning to clean it all up the problem is once I have made a pile I have to jump and roll around in it then the neighbors dog and grandson join in and I have a bigger mess then when I started but it's just so much fun to do childlike things.When we were kids we had to create our own fun and use are imaginations.I have ofthen been told I am immature for doing such silly antics like that or jumping in puddles but heck life can be too serious at times so I see know harm in it and I still like to blow bubbles and watch them float in the sky.Do you get absurd childlike moments and if you do or would like to what would that be?

Hey life's too short to be all grown up all the time. If we didn't let our hair down and do childish things we'd most probably end up being miserable old lonely souls with no sense of humour.
Thinking of leaves, they remind me of bonfire night. When i smell fallen leaves it reminds me of when we used to stuff our Guy Fawkes with them to burn on the bonfire, I love that smell.
I still do childish things. One of my bad habits from when I was young is sneaking up behind a mate by a pool on holiday and quickly pulling his shorts down then running away, I still find that hilarious, well they think the same when it's done to me lol! If I see a crisp packet on the floor I still stamp on it to see if it bangs and I still love to play football with the dog in the garden. I'm sure I do a lot more childish things without realising but hey we're only here once so let's enjoy it.

When I say mate I mean male friend, just in case some might think I mean mate as in Girlfriend lol. I keep forgetting the language differences.


myLot reputation of 99/100. faeryoftheshire1 (180)   ranked 4 out of 68 in having fun  4 weeks ago

Hahahaha...that is just to funny.I like those packets filled with butter or jelly when you stomp on them they make a cool popping sound and a splat:)I also loved dropping water balloons on people but now you have to be more careful.But its a crack up anyway.My former co-workers and I would prank on eachother constantly.Adults like to revisit there childhood fun and kids try to be to grown up....funny how that goes...but I know I will never grow up completely and nor do I want too!


myLot reputation of 96/100. BulletTooth (216)   ranked 21 out of 68 in having fun  4 weeks ago

If people think I need to grow up that's their problem. We all need to have fun and as long as no one is hurt it doesn't really matter how we have our fun.
I can't remember the last time I dropped a water balloon on someone, it was probably out of a window at school. You're putting ideas in my head now lol. I'm certainly not ready for my pipe and slippers just yet so I hope I can remain a big kid for a few more years at least.


myLot reputation of 99/100. faeryoftheshire1 (180)   ranked 4 out of 68 in having fun  4 weeks ago

Whoever tells you that you are immature needs to go take a long look in the mirror. Shame on them. There is a big difference between being young at heart and being irresponsible. Thanks for reminding me about the bubbles. I believe I have a big bottle of glycerin around here somewhere. A little of that added to the bubble soap makes the bubbles big and strong. I hope you fly kites, too! You and I both may still be doing those things when we are 110! Sadly, the people who would criticize us will not be there to rejoice in our happiness, as their behavior will result in their own destruction.


myLot reputation of 99/100. faeryoftheshire1 (180)   ranked 4 out of 68 in having fun  4 weeks ago

I agree drannhh.I have used dish soap to have make shift bubbles I usually stock up on it in the spring so I can play all year around and oh flying kites is so much fun I still do that too.They make them of better quality now...I tried to make one but it fell apart!LOL.Yes we will always have fun and be young at heart and the nay sayers will be miserable.So keep flying those kites:)

oh gosh, leaves, you have seen pics of my garden so you know that i will have a shed load of leaves to clear up, the landlord usually does it but we do help him out at times, i usually rake them up and put them in a pile for my veg garden, once they have rotted i can put them on the soil, out front there's leaves all over the place (we have alot of trees here) so i swept them all up, but no sooner did i sweep them up, a gust of wind blew them all over the place, sigh! i despair...LOL....i love playing in the leaves we used to do that as kids and stuff wet ones down each others jumpers, it was fun but we used to get told off by nanna because it made our clothes wet, but it was alot of fun.


myLot reputation of 99/100. puddytatt (840)   ranked 53 out of 68 in having fun  4 weeks ago

oh by the way, i still get childlike, i think we all do, so playing in leaves is not immature, so people who say we are, are just miserable and should try it themselves because it is fun.


myLot reputation of 99/100. faeryoftheshire1 (180)   ranked 4 out of 68 in having fun  4 weeks ago

Yes I love your garden I can imagine how full it must be.I decided to pay someone to finish the job as I will never get it done.Leaves never go away completely but love the crunching sound they make too.Yes we will have fun they are just jealous!


myLot reputation of 99/100. puddytatt (840)   ranked 53 out of 68 in having fun  4 weeks ago

well it's usually the landlords job in the garden they come here every friday and mow the grass and also clear up the leaves, but we make it easier for them and help out, yeah anyone who mocks us playful people are prolly jealous and need to lighten up...


myLot reputation of 99/100. faeryoftheshire1 (180)   ranked 4 out of 68 in having fun  4 weeks ago

Yes that is why I like paying rent less responsibility Nanners owned the house so it has to come out of her pocket.but there are always people that like to earn a quick buck to do it for me.But I love not having to do that kind of work..I am a bit lazy that way,lol!

I get absurd childlike moments all the time. Don't let anybody rain on your parade. As long as you're not hurting anybody else, do what makes you happy and rasp to anybody who tells you not to!


myLot reputation of 99/100. faeryoftheshire1 (180)   ranked 4 out of 68 in having fun  4 weeks ago

Very well said dawnald I agree.It is all harmless fun.I do things to make me happy I tend to ignore those who try and burst my little bubble:)

Hi faery,


Well there is always a child in every adult and there is nothing wrong in behaving like one when we feel like, it, when I am doing some washing up, I would get the soap sudes in my hands and blow bubbles, so you are not alone, hugs.


Tamara


myLot reputation of 99/100. faeryoftheshire1 (180)   ranked 4 out of 68 in having fun  4 weeks ago

I don't step or jump in puddles - with $140 shoes, its not a good idea, but I love to drive thru puddles and make big splashes!

In fact, one hot day driving home I saw a couple of girls in swim suits beside the street and there was water flooding out of a nearby fire hydrant. They were trying to get cars to splash them.

I was going a different way, but I went around the block to oblige them! They were really happy when I got a HUGE wave over them!

Having said that, I normally don't try to splash people with the puddles, but when there's no one around - SPLUSH!!!!


myLot reputation of 99/100. faeryoftheshire1 (180)   ranked 4 out of 68 in having fun  4 weeks ago

LOL...I don't blame you...mine are waterproof:)That is so much fun to do I like when I am walking in the rain and I get splashed so long as it isn't a cold rain.Now you got me thinking the next time I am out driving in the rain I will do that..I think it's great:)

We all need to act childish at times. It breaks the monotany of our days and makes us feel young again. I love to do things out of th blue that are completely silly or something that a child would normally do. I have been known to talk to my kids in funny voices when they least expect it, jumo in the leaves on occassion and even go snow sledding once in a while. I think it is even more fun when I can get another adult to join me.


myLot reputation of 99/100. faeryoftheshire1 (180)   ranked 4 out of 68 in having fun  4 weeks ago

Yes..absolutly..I get bored to easy sometimes and I like lightening the mood up too.I think it is great to embrace the child within.I do cutesy voices with animals..lol!When I am in silly mode I try to get others too join in.Most times they do:)

Hi there! I am a young adult and I miss the childhood days which were carefree and happy times. There were also many interesting child's games. Sometimes I would like to recall and play them by myself. One of the games is to make paper toys like plane, ship, pinwheel and so on. From the games, I seem to be able to get a kind of peace in my soul:)


myLot reputation of 99/100. faeryoftheshire1 (180)   ranked 4 out of 68 in having fun  3 weeks ago

Hello:)Yes I do what fun we had back in the day.Oh yes I remember paper airplanes the boys always like to shoot them into our hair during class..lol!Oh I forgot about pinwheels must get a few.I agree there is a measure of peace and contentment in those things:)
