Im not that old, but I do wonder at what point, if ever, is it sad to find toys/stuff designed for young people fun?
I dont like hunting and meat smokers. Or sports. Im into classic consoles and rc cars and Legos. Sometimes I feel like people have kids just so they can try to relive their own kid days. But I do that on a daily basis. Im surrounded by “kid” stuff, right down to 90s vhs cartoons and a Bop it.
My co workers would think its very odd that I spent the weekend playing atari and building legos. I guess I did put up some wood paneling too. But most other people were probably trucking their kids to sports practice and smoking a hog.
Almost 1/2 century old and I still have stuffed animals my mom gave me as a kid in the hospital and a few others for my birthday.
If she didn’t get rid of my old millennium falcon and other starwars toys i would still have them.
You like what you like and you keep what means something to you. Fuck what anyone else thinks!
I’d really love to see your stuffed animals. <3
Mom gave me these on Valentine’s day so long ago they are fading in color.
My stuffed animals are in storage ATM but I hope this will brighten the moment in their stead!
Once you’re older than 99 you’re not allowed to play with Lego’s anymore
Poor Dick Van Dyke.
As someone who doesn’t generally play with children’s toys, i still say the answer is never.
As Randall Munroe said way back in XKCD #150, we’re the grownups now, and we get to decide what that means. Life is too short not to spend as much of it as you can doing what you want. So long as it doesn’t interfere with others, go wild.
as long as it doesn’t interfere with others
Hell, find someone who consents and go wild with company! it’s 2x the fun!
