I just enjoy doing fun things and enjoying life so ill never grow up. I’ll be playing video games, playing music, and breaking rc cars when im 90.
Still enjoy cartoons too. I guess I really had no siblings growing up so I like to entertain myself. Why do people get old and boring? Never understood it myself. Get old, not boring.

Growing old is compulsory; growing up is optional. My boomer parent besties taught me that. They were awesome, hard-partying, and so full of life. They would take me for long weekends and vacations with them, doing fun shit including breaking his RC cars doing ill-advised shit. He was an EE for Phillips NA and she was an EE for IBM. We stayed in close touch until they died.
If my own parents are what adulthood looks like, nah, I’m good, thanks.

You are an exception. My dad moved into the old beater car I gave him when I couldn’t afford to fix the starter…

My anecdote was unclear; I apologize. My parents suuuuuuck, are boring AF except as a case study of Conservatives, and their only contribution to the world will be their absence when they’re gone. My parents’ best friends were a lifelong exemplar on how to live life and leave things better,
