In what ways are you still a child?

I can still lift you OP

In keeping with modern parlance, you are “involuntarily un-pampered”! Horrors!

I don't understand this.

I also dont' like the taste of alcohol (only the sweet ones). I don't like coffee. I don't like any type of fish or seafood. I vastly prefer sweet food.

I like adult onesies to sleep in.

I never drank coffee in my life. I live with my father.

OP, it sounds like you have what it takes to be president

I, too, don’t like the taste of alcohol and coffee, as well as vegetables.

I have the since of humor of a 12-year-old.

I have some dolls/action figures in my closet.

I sometimes watch old kids shows from my childhood.

That should’ve said, “most vegetables.”

I LOVE superhero movies, Universal Studios, Disney World and any fruit flavored candy (nerds, starbursts, now & later, skittles, blow pops).

Don’t like the taste of alcohol, drugs, cigarettes, seafood, most vegetables. I also don’t cook. I buy most of my meals from Trader Joe’s and do carry out. The funny thing is most people would think I’m sophisticated because I’ve been all over the world and speak three languages. I’m very entertaining at dinner parties. I however have been unsuccessful at most relationships with gay men because I don’t drink and somehow I get stuck dating the barfly lol

[quote] I have some dolls/action figures in my closet. lol R8

I have never drunk a cup of coffee.

I have never smoked a marijuana cigarette.

I have never bottomed, only topped.

I have eaten fish only several times in my lifetime.

I hate science fiction and animation movies.

I don't understand it either r3, as I matured I had the good sense to put aside childish things. I drink and enjoy coffee (with cream/milk, no sugar--if Turkish coffee I like it black and sweet) and I like cocktails and wine, beer is OK, but it has to be good beer, many American beers are barely mediocre. Children pick their noses instead of using a tissue OP, do you still do that? I don't enjoy video games, just walking through one of those arcades with tons of them gets on my nerves--it would seem to be a waste of time and money. I don't know what you mean by immature humor. Are you irresponsible OP? Do you throw your clothes on the floor after wearing them and not pick them up? Do you need to be reminded several times to get a certain thing done? Do you not listen when someone is trying to tell you something? All of these are childish things far better left behind. The way fraus are described here makes me think they're childish. Maturity is something for which one strives throughout life I suppose, or should.

I wear a diaper and regularly fling it on the wall when full.

How does not liking or drinking coffee make one a child? That makes no sense.

Childhood 'Giggles' are ageless, Thank Dog!

Baby tastes R16. Under developed palate.

I like to watch videos featuring Tumbleweed the hamster.

I'm with you on alcohol.

Sometimes I rewatch some of the anime I saw as a kid.

I'd be too afraid to change a car tire on my own. Earlier today I called my dad for automobile advice. I'm 42.

I feel that owning a house is too grown-up for me. So are driving very long distances, leading a meeting at work, investing in stocks (aside from my retirement account), or hosting a family get-together.

I don't host dinner parties. I'd rather pay for dinner out, then prepare a meal for another.

I never had the chance to grow up.

Supply me with a home address or a post office box, OP, and I will be more than happy to mail you a "Baby On Board!" sign.

I've never owned a car, but have a license.

I don't have stocks either.

I'm finally able to enjoy the childhood I was denied due to abusive/negligent parents. At 10, I had to be a responsible adult looking after myself. Now at 65, I can be a kid, enjoying the wondrous world and all its possibilities.

I don't understand the appeal of everlasting childhood. I looked forward to being an adult, & still am glad to be one. I have adult tastes and proclivities.

OP is 8.

[quote]They would pinch my cheeks and tell me I was cute. They would pick me up. They would buy me candy.

Then they would molest me.

I suck the dicks of men older than me

My sense of humour. I teach my nephews and nieces bad words and generally act in a madcap manner around them,.My siblings have given up on me at this stage, but the kids adore me. We have great fun. So much so that my 9year old nephew suggested that I might like this Peppa Pig video.

I don't work and live off money my parents give me.

Ha! R7

I think I dated OP for a short time. They cover this shit up, as best they can. For a while, anyway. But it comes out. It always comes out.

I still love cookies and ice cream.

I did not start to love ice cream until I got sober at 32. AA has this book called "Living Sober" that many refer to affectionately as "Eating Sugar."

I never knew there were so many Peter Pansies out there.

I really don't care, do u?

I'm 65, but don't feel that way emotionally at all.

I've never had a roommate or lived with anyone since I got out of college.

I didn't start drinking coffee until I was 60 (my caffeinated beverage of choice before that was Diet Coke.)

I have a serious sweet tooth, and also am addicted to snack foods.

I love animated movies and theme parks (but hate comic book movies and action movies.)

I used to collect Beanie Babies.

I've never had a relationship.

I've never smoked or taken any kind of illegal drugs or smoked dope.

I rarely drink alcohol -- I hate wine and beer, and can only tolerate sweet cocktails occasionally.

I've never bottomed.

[Quote]I've never bottomed.

Well mister, your luck is about to change.

40- LOL

Thinking that the consumption of coffee and wine makes one an adult is about as childish as it gets...

OP, you’re cute. *pinches cheeks*

But if you’re being involuntarily unpampered, perhaps you should write and post an essay about it. Maybe it’ll go viral and your aunts will lose their jobs over it.

R26, I know this doesn’t mean much from an anonymous stranger on the internet, but I’m sorry you weren’t able to be a kid. For most of us, it’s remembered fondly as one of the great times in our lives. That’s why all the nostalgia shows (Happy Days, The Wonder Years, That 70s Show, The Goldbergs) are usually successful. I’m sincerely sorry you never got to experience that and I hope your life to date has been much, much better. I am sending you hugs right now. Feel the warmth, friend.

[quote]Thinking that the consumption of coffee and wine makes one an adult is about as childish as it gets...

I don’t think that’s quite what they mean. Most of us grew up around parents who drank coffee. As children, we obviously were not allowed any. As an adult, you don’t drink coffee so you’re child-like [bold]in that regard.[/bold] It’s not the same as saying if you don’t drink coffee or wine you’re childish.

I still enjoy the swing in the park. I'm petite so I fit right in with the other kids in the park

I’m not, I’m an adult and would be horrified meeting someone like you, OP

[quote]I'm petite

Sure, Jan.

R45:

I just ate sugar-free strawberry Jello with diced canned peaches in it.

SLURP!

R48:

🤢

Any pits from the peaches left?

I love bubble gum.

When family members or friends go to America they bring it back for me.

My mother still says "Do you want me to bring anything back...bubble gum?"

Do they not have bubble gum where you live?

I'm like r26. I had a terrible childhood so now, as an adult, I tend to enjoy doing a lot of stuff that keeps me young. Make no mistake though, I can and have survived a lot of shit in my life so I think I'm ok with having some fun as an adult. I enjoy amusement parks, I play video game on the weekends, I take music lessons (guitar) and most of my friends seem to have forgotten how to have fun. I'm almost 50 but you wouldn't know it. I collect some toy stuff like Star Wars and some Harry Potter stuff. I will go see most Pixar movies. Maybe these make me "childlike" but the alternative is boring. I'm well read, college educated, support myself and can cook so I'm a mixture. I know so many "adults" who have forgotten how to have fun. Their lives are work, work, work, and if they have kids it's even worse.

[quote]Do they not have bubble gum where you live?

Not really, no.

R47 - I am laughing so hard at that! Thank you! LOL!!!

I still let my uncle fuck me when he gives me candy

R54, See, now that makes me feel bad. Something great that we have here that is practically taken for granted because it’s so ubiquitous, gets no love elsewhere.

I wish I had the addresses of our UK DLers so I could send them cases of gum each month. It’s not expensive here at all, so other than going to the post office, it’d be nothing.

OP: In what ways are you still a child?

R13: I have never bottomed, only topped.

This didn't raise any red flags for anybody else?

R58 In the ways I mentioned. Can't you read?

[R58] In the ways I mentioned. Can't you read?

You're a very grumpy "child" OP.

Op the child >

I've never been in a relationship.

I play with my daughter’s stuffed animals.

I still like candy! Somebody pass me a blow pop!

My fly is open

My shoes are untied

I'm picking my nose

I think I just pooped my pants

I love these spiral lollipops too!

r57 they have bubblegum in England. Our childish British poster has just never left his cot.

I like the old classic cartoons.

I like children's books.

r53, what may be fun for you may not be fun for someone else and realizing that makes you more of an adult, which, in the end, is not a bad thing at all.

Whether or not we ever grew out of being childlike, if we live long enough, many of us revert back to that stage in many ways. Diapers. Can no longer walk unassisted. Taking naps. Eating bland, soft food. Can't leave the house alone.

Thanks r67.

Oh I love coffee.

I dig ales, rum, vodka the like.

I love 1970's horror films

And I play computer games to this day and at my advanced age. There's some value being able to mash the keys like that.

I saw an old couple in their 70s at the Universal Studios - Terminator show and they were havng a blast! They were on vacation solo without anyone else and go every year. It was so much fun sitting next to them instead of the other young/stuffy people the audience.

In what ways are you still a child?

I love 'funny'; I love 'pretty'; I love 'sparkly'; and I love the surprise of unexpected laughter/joy, giggles -

I get all excited and say "Doggie!" when I see cute/sweet dogs. And I get very excited when they come see me/lick me or let me pet them.

It sounds very silly but it does something very restorative for my soul. I see them playing and see uncomplicated joy and love. And savor every moment.

R65=The President

R76 I'm the same. Instead I call them 'woofers'. I love seeing a dog stick it's head of a car window, enjoy the wind in it's hair.

Irritating Baby Boomer self-indulgence. Grow up.

[quote][R57] they have bubblegum in England. Our childish British poster has just never left his cot.

Link, please.

Actually, they might still have a few shitty brands...but...always HORRIBLE. NASTY.

How very kind of you. Gurl, it's the POSTAGE that costs these days.

Once, years ago, I met when I was about 14 I met an American woman on a plane and told her my love for American bubble gum and she's sent me a whole box to my boarding school in England. All sorts of exotic flavours I remember....including watermelon. Wasn't that sweet?

At one time I persuaded Selfridges dept. store to import DUBBLE BUBBLE (currently the best American Bubble Gum) and they got it in. But that came to an end.

DLers don't seem to like Bubble Gum so I've never been able to enjoy the American connection in that area, which has been very disappointing. They're very sniffy about it. Snobby and snooty, in fact.

[quote]Once, years ago, I met when I was about 14 I met an American woman on a plane and told her my love for American bubble gum and she's sent me a whole box to my boarding school in England.

Sorry for my dreadful messy English - it's early in the morning here. I haven't even had breakfast yet (American pancakes made from a recipe I learned here on the DL when I first beacme a DLer many years ago).

FRUITY dubble bubble >>...not as good as the traditional - the flavour goes to quickly. But nice all the same.

I'm still young!

I collect illustrated antiquarian children's books featuring animals in clothes, eg, Peter Rabbit. I get enormous pleasure from these and can enjoy them for hours at a time. So grateful to the internet and Ebay.

I still collect sea glass on the beach, which I enjoyed as a child.

[quote] featuring animals in clothes, eg, Peter Rabbit.

LOL.

Which reminds me - I still have my kiddie story records from the '60s, including Beatrix Potter stories told by Vivien Leigh.

and joyfully you can listen to them on YouTube...wonderful songs!!

Still love balloons. While online at Safeway, I still give the ribbons a tug and look up at them.

[quote]I'm still young!

You're [bold]NOT YOUNG![/bold]!

I picture r81 in some British country estate he inherited from his parents, living there with his manservant Charles.

I read Mad Magazine

I'm having an extremely heavy flow day.

I owned many hamsters as a kid. I now enjoy watching funny videos of hamsters. I don’t watch them all the time just now and then. Is that weird?

Omg!

Bubble gum at Amazon-UK.

Gimme my NUTS!

[quote]Bubble gum at Amazon-UK.

That's SHIT that bubble gum.

Thanks all the same

r95 There are TWENTY pages of listings. Did you click on the link?

You seem emotionally immature and insufferable.

When I look at the Hi Ho Kids, I identify more with them than the adults. They make me remember my own childhood from so long ago.

Do collecting legos and pop-up books count?

I giggle when I fart loudly.

I don’t cook much, I’m single and sometimes eat a bowl of cold cereal for dinner. I still receive some support from my parents, I don’t like sushi or most seafood. I play games on my phone. I stay up late and hate waking up early. I don’t like to dress up, particularly hate traditional business clothes.

Do you work, R101?

For R91

Thanks R103 that was very cute. Never seen that one before.

I am a vegetarian because I feel sorry for animals, and don't want to chew and shallow them.

I don't feel adult enough to go into a Liquor store and buy booze.

[quote]I don't feel adult enough to go into a Liquor store and buy booze.

I started doing that when I was 14.

*swallow them animals. I knew I wrote something incorrectly. R105

I drink my dad’s cum

If I’m driving in the country and see cows in a pasture, I still refer to them as “moo cows,” and moo at them like they’re supposed to know what I’m saying.

I find this entertaining!

I'm addicted to the DL as if it were a Pac Man video game. Does that count?

Don't like sex

I still dream of friendship and artistic projects.

I recently bought a coloring book and some crayons for the hell of it. It's actually quite relaxing to color and pick the crayons I'm going to use, and I enjoyed the smell of the crayons themselves=)
