I -had- a lot of that stuff when I was a kid, but I don't have any of it now. The things I like that might make someone say I haven't grown up yet are things like cartoon shows or still liking things like bouncy balls and coloring books. What you said about playing in the creek though, I love doing that still, even though I haven't in years. And somehow, some of that stuff just isn't that fun when you're alone.

I don't count still liking juvenile or young adult books, because there are a lot of people who will tell you that a lot of those types of books are worth reading no matter how old you are and in some cases, are much better.

And really, that's what it comes down to. It doesn't matter how old you are. You like what you like and it has nothing to do with age. Whether or not you're still able to -do- it might, but not whether you like it.

I have some action figures floating around, or I used to. I still like trolls and I think Lego people are great. I don't know if you'd count stuffed animals or not, but I have a collection of those and Beanie Babies. I still have all the posters I used to put on my walls. There are even one or two videos that mean a lot that I conscripted and hid so they wouldn't go away.

So I guess the stuff I have is different from what you've got, but it means the same thing. Wouldn't trade it for the world either.
