‘What is one childish thing you still do to this day?’ 19 relatable trips down memory lane

Not many people cast off every habit they picked up as a child. It might be how they shove their pyjamas under the pillow each morning or stuff a sock in each shoe when they get changed at the swimming baths. Perhaps less hygienic things involving fingers and noses.

u/RepresentativeFast97 got curious about people’s childhood hangovers – not like that – and asked Reddit this question.

If there is some bubble wrap around, I’m popping that shit!

The other day a delivery came with a sheet of bubble wrap about 3 metres long. I laid it along my hallway and danced a jig across it.

I’m 45.
