Let's compose a list of one hundred childish things to do to keep ourselves kids forever! I'll start:

WE'VE MET THE GOAL! But we've barely scratched the surface of all the things kids can do. ;) Let's try to reach 200 now! :)

1. Stick your arms under the sprinklers in the produce aisle whenever they come on.

2. Jump over all the cracks in the sidewalk.

3. Decide on one particular tile color (e.g. orange) to step on in the grocery store, and hop from one orange tile to the next, never touching any other color.

4. When anyone makes any statement, ask, "why?"

5. Have lots of conversations with your stuffed animals. This will keep you in that little kid mindset.

I'm sure you guys can come up with way funnier ideas... I can't wait to see what things you post! :D

6. laugh at everything you find even remotely funny. or if you don't understand something.

7. Watch your favorite childhood movies and if there are any good dancing songs in them DANCE TO THEM LIKE YOU'RE THREE! xD (I tend to do this with songs like "Ev'rybody wants to be a Cat from the Aristocats :p)

8. Run around in the snow with an umbrella and pretend you're Lucy.

9. Always make your parents/friends pinky promise to anything really important.

10. Laugh during the Veggietales themesong.:p
 
11. Well quite obviously, go to Neverland!

12. When Peter Pan hasn't showed up for a while, try to fly anyway, minus the pixie dust

13. Make snow angels. Especially when not wearing wintery clothes

14. Make snow angels in the middle of Summer
 
15. Whisper 'secrets' to all your friends. Even if the secret itself is nothing interesting, you'll still make everyone else jealous!

16. Crawl into small spaces and jump out at people, yelling, "BOO!"

17. Write a letter to Santa. (Still, I never did that when I was younger, because I've never believed in him...)

18. Sing loudly in public.

19. Take a lollypop out of the bowl every time you go to the bank.

Those are called sand angels.:p

15. make up words like "awsomeatic"

16. pronounce words funny like say "gnarled" like its SUPPOSED to be said as "G-narled". Or pronounce sword like "s-w-ord" :p (my grandpa told me that one).

17. Name everything that doesn't already have a name to you.
 
Assign everyone in the room a "secret word", and when they use the secret word in conversation, admonish them loudly.

If you like the person, it can be a word like "zygote" or "boscage" but if they are someone like your irritating Aunt Matilda that always leaves lipstick on your cheek when she kisses you, the word should be slightly more commonplace like "a", "and" or "the"... :D
 
20. Run to places because you don't feel like walking. (I've tried to wean myself somewhat from the habit, since college students aren't supposed to do that, but my efforts haven't been completely successful.)

21. Quote randomly from Barney and Mr. Rogers.
 
22. Read children's books such as the Bobbsey Twins and Thornton Burgess--not just aloud to small siblings, but to yourself quietly, with your lips moving as though you are pronouncing the words in your head.

23. When a cookie platter is passed after dinner, hold it forever trying to find the particular cookie you want.
 
I used to LOVE the Bobbsey twins books. :D

24. Give your stuffed animals names that make no sense like ‘Jaggy the horse’ or ‘Je gel the rabbit’.

25. Or give them obvious names like ‘Bunny,’ ‘Bunny With The Velcro Paws’ or ‘Ribbon Bear’. Or ‘Round Gold Eye.’ (The name of a beanie baby panther my little friend had. xD)

26. When you read aloud, pronounce all words phonetically. (I’ve tried this. It’s quite fun! :D)

27. Blame everything on the family dog. (Or cat!)
 
28. Set fire to the top of one of your hats and blow it out when there's just a rim left. Run outside next time there is a thunderstorm, slip it on, then come back in the house with a blank stare and mumble things in some sort of invented language. Every time someone asks you what's wrong, make a BOOOOM RUMBBBBLE sound and point to the top of your head.
 
31. Skip or somersault down hallways.

32. Listen to "kid songs" and sing along.

33. Put stickers on envelopes.
 
34. Scribble on the wall with your crayons.

35. Whenever someone is watching a movie you're not allowed to see, peek around the wall to watch it or hide behind the couch.

36. Climb (and fall out of) trees.

37. Scream, yell, and dance in delight whenever you get to go on a picnic.
 
38. wear mismatched socks---not by accident, of course

39. have EVERY song from your favorit classical disney movie (preferably a cartoon) on your ipod or other music device

40. when you happen to see an old show on one of those retro stations that you loved as a kid (such as Richard Scary or whatnot) squeel, clap and giggle and demand that the channel not be changed
 
41. Go on imaginary trips. Fill your backpack with snacks, crayons, toys, and other necessities and get lost in the backyard.

42. Sit in office chairs and spin until you're dizzy.

Oh man, my sister and I did both of those so much when we were younger!!! And I still do the second one now. :p

Remind me to tell you guys that Soggy Bagel story some time. ;)

40. Put on a Christmas pageant with your stuffed animals.

41. Dress up in crazy dress-up clothes and parade around the house.

42. Borrow the family camera, and walk around the house taking hundreds of random pictures of furniture and knick-knacks.
 
44. When eating Oreo cookies, always eat the top cookie first without disturbing the icing in the middle. Then eat the icing by itself, followed by the bottom cookie ;)

I wish they would make Oreos with the white stuff on the outside, and only a little bit of the hard cookie in the middle. xD

45. Rub cherry-flavored dum dums across your lips to make them red. xD (FYI, it doesn't actually work...)

46. Play with your mom's makeup, and leave her supplies (and your face!) a mess.

47. When your mom tells you that your bed is made of maple, lick it to see if it tastes like maple syrup. :D
