I was a child, I had childish things. But when I grew up, I was able to afford a lot more childish things. I have way more childish things. I cannot stress how much these rule.
@geekysteven Right? Plus there are some childish things now that are way cooler than the any of the junk they used to make
@aubilenon @geekysteven The kid with the vibrating football game was king in my day.
@aubilenon @geekysteven they don't make 'em like they used to (positive)
@geekysteven As a LEGO employee this is the story of my life :D
@evannakita @geekysteven As a LEGO buyer who couldn’t afford the kits when I was a kid, so much this!
@geekysteven Same here! I have all the childish things I never got as a child, too!
@geekysteven Put away childish things? I'm a grown-ass man, you can't tell me what to do!
@geekysteven I agree🥰♥️👌🏻
@geekysteven I want some hot wheels TBQH
@geekysteven the older I get the more Lisa Frank-inspired things I acquire
@geekysteven Definitely the best part of being a grown up. Nobody keeping you from buying that cool game or that awesome figurine or just from having pizza at 2 am.

@geekysteven
I have hundreds of books.
My wife has at least a thousand.

As a kid, we both wore out the library. You have to give those books back. As a young adult, I'd trade in books at used bookstores.
As adults, we have enough disposable income to keep the books.
Same for DVDs and Blu-rays. We've got hundreds because we can.

@geekysteven I didn't get a lot of art/crafting supplies when I was little. Now that I'm older, I have a whole ROOM of them!
@geekysteven I will never stop buying “childish things”!
@geekysteven the aspect and evolution of life comes with these things Steve.
@geekysteven I’ll always collect Pokémon cards and Lego’s
@geekysteven
“You can tell the men from the boys by the price of their toys.”
@geekysteven My plush fraggles and Muppets and Stitches agree.
@geekysteven I agree. When I was a child I had few childish things. As an adult I have even fewer of those things and life is miserable. Note to self: buy more childish things.
@geekysteven I love this! Although I wouldn’t exactly call them that. When I figure out what I prefer, I will let you know! But I really think this is cool! I’ve been judged, and I was 13 for so loving, dizzy movies and assorted TV shows by my own parents and less. But now I love who I am, and I don’t hide that part of myself anymore!
@geekysteven so I'd like to confess that I currently collect all my former childish things; they're called "vintage" now
@geekysteven Oh, me so too! I never had any decent childish things till I grew up!
@geekysteven
I'm kind of lucky. I always thought old man things were kinda cool - CB Radios, metal detectors, etc.
Don't have any yet, but the older I get ...
@geekysteven
🎶 The childish things
Remind me of you

@geekysteven giant #Lego sets for the win.
@rrrobbed @geekysteven yep. I own orders of magnitude more #Lego now than I ever did as a kid 😂💸
@geekysteven "Boys don't grow up, just their toys are getting bigger/more expensive"
@geekysteven the childish things might be a smaller portion of all my belongings if the adult things weren't all apparently designed for edgelord teenagers trying to appear sophisticated and adult
@geekysteven After we started getting our house professionally cleaned, the cleaner asked my mom how old the girl whose room was cotton candy pink with a bed full of stuffed animals was. My mom had to admit that I was almost 40. 🤣
@geekysteven When I was little, my mom told me that when I grew up and got a job, I could buy all the toys I wanted, and I never lost sight of that dream.

@geekysteven

You’re never too old to have a happy childhood.

@geekysteven I bought this childish item today with my hard earned adult money. No regrets.
@box464 first of all, i love it
@geekysteven
Shakespeare would not be happy! 😂
@geekysteven I never got around to "eat ice cream for dinner " but I nowadays have a gaming computer which I can use whenever I want! Even at 2am!!
@geekysteven “Would 14 year-old me would kill for this?“ should be a consideration during any purchase of useless tat.
@geekysteven and thus that is how I became a member of the @defcon fam
@geekysteven YES! Bring me the childish things!!!
