Being an adult has its benefits, but sometimes it can get quite tedious. Between juggling work, keeping up with relationships and tackling life’s extended responsibilities, it is easy to become overwhelmed. That’s why every now and then, you need a break from the monotony of everyday tasks—the kind that will bring out your inner child again! Below are the 20 playful, childish things for adults that are sure to put a smile on your face and make even the longest day seem a little shorter.Â
1. Stay Up Late
One user jokingly shared, “avoiding bedtime.”
Another user replied, “First of all, lower your voice.”

2. Stay Completely on the Bed
One online user added to the thread, “I still don’t hang any part of my person over the edge of the bed. Because…well, monsters.”

3. Sleeping With My Teddy Bear
“Sleeping with my teddy bear. I’ll never get rid of that habit,” one user posted.
Another user commented, “Mine is a bunny my husband got me. I went out of state, and he gave me it before I left with a scroll tied up in his paw. I unfurled the scroll on the plane, and it was the bunny’s name, backstory and how it was his mission to protect me. His name is Artemis Gardenia Hoppes. Artemis has been with me for about five years, and I’ve been with my husband for almost 14 years.”
4. Eat What You Want
One user shared, “I have no children. My husband and I are childlike in general. Eat what we want (within reason), stay up as long as we want, color or paint on the walls if we want, play lots of video games and board games, and spend money on toys. Just grown-up children.”
5. Watch Bluey

8. Not Stepping on the Cracks
One Redditor shared, “Not stepping on the cracks in the sidewalk.”
Another replied, “I intentionally step on every crack that I can. I guess kid me just wanted to rebel against the norm.”
9. Be a Picky Eater
“Being a picky eater. I do want to eat some things that just want to make me throw up,” one user commented.
Another user replied, “I tell people in a jokingly serious manner that, ‘By God, I’m 55 f- years old, and if I don’t like something, I do not have to eat it!”

One user commented, “This is seriously so cute and wholesome.”
17. Make up Stupid Little SongsÂ
“I still make up stupid little songs about the little things that don’t go quite right, so I don’t get too upset about them. I will draw smiley faces on pancakes when I make them for someone else. If we go on a day trip, I will pack my lunch in one of my many fandom-related lunchboxes and add positive notes to cheer myself up later that day. I still dress up on Halloween, even though I don’t go anywhere,” one user shared.Â
18. Collect Hot Wheels
