Lovely Pandas, What’s Something Others Would Dub “Childish” And “Kiddy” That You Enjoy, But You Love It Regardless?
I have a few here. My love of Pokémon. I got my first game when it came out (1999 for Australia, Pokémon Red) and the games have been a part of my life ever since. I don't enjoy the ones with the non-traditional gameplay so much; I stick to the turn-based ones. I remember I used to play a lot with a kid in primary school whose character was called 'Fucker' before I even knew what the word meant, lol.
Plushies. I know many 'older' people have these, but they also get poo-pooed a lot. Stuff that. I love my plushies. One in particular you'd need to off me to tear her from my cold, rigor mortis-inflicted hands.
Tamagotchi(s?). Recently discovering their charm as I was *totes neglected* and my parents wouldn't buy me one (at least that's what I tell my mother. In case someone doesn't realise, I'm being sarcastic. I wasn't neglected. IT'S A JOKE.) I have over ten now, I think, and I have willed them to my mother. As much as she loves me, I think she hates me for this. Oh, and she also gets my OG Furby.

Don't care what you all think
Watching adult cartoons. My husband makes fun of me constantly but I don’t care, I love them!!!
Swinging on a swing. I'm not the only one, though, because there are separate swings for adults in the nearby park. Sleeping with a stuffed animal. Blowing soap bubbles. Sliding down a slide/sledding hill in winter. Pigtails. Children's movies or games. I also wrote children's fairy tales as part of a creative writing course and it was really fun. As a teenager, I think everyone distanced themselves from "childish" things, but as an adult, they can be brought back into everyday life. For example, candy day is a really good habit. You can eat treats one day a week and you really enjoy them more because it makes them more special.
