5 Childish Behaviors That Stick With Us

Old Habits Die Hard

No matter how old we get or how mature we become, there’s a playful streak in each of us that refuses to be tamed. In the face of adult responsibilities and societal standards, these irresistibly childish habits persist, providing comfort and a touch of rebellion.

Engaging in a lively online discussion, people from various walks of life have shared their most cherished – and perhaps slightly immature – behaviors. Let’s take a closer look at these delightful quirks that keep our inner child alive and kicking!
