Fun You know you're just a big kid when . . .

When you cry during Rush Hour.

 

--When you get excited about finding the Star Wars Sticker Book, and just have to buy it.

 

...when you spend an hour in the toy section at Walmart looking at the Transformers toys and Star Wars toys, unable to decide which Autobot to get and which Jedi to get because you want them all.(guilty)

...when you spend hours pretending to be in an alternate universe in which Star Wars, or other favorite shows, are real and you're in the middle of it all.(guilty)

...when you go to watch the newest Veggietales movie the day it comes into theatres.(guilty, went to see Veggietales: The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything when it came out)

...when you like a game that's repetitive even when everyone else hates it.(guilty as well)

 

...you say "This is the best present EVER!" when someone gives you a Star Wars colouring book for Christmas.

So. Kriffing. Guilty.

 

... you still dream of flying the Millenium Falcon.

 

... you still pull your teeth out in hope of the tooth fairy coming

 

A romantic night together is watching a Disney movie.

Your little brother is embarassed to be dragged into Toys R Us by two grown adults.

You shop often at Toys R Us.

You sit on the floor playing with SW mini ships.

You play with Legos.

Your TV is on the Disney Channel most of the time.

 

you're favourite game franchise is Sonic.

 

When you're at the mall, you have the impulse to buy candy from one of the those little quarter-operated machines.

 

...you search out cupboard boxes that contain the toys you played with as a child.

 

. . . every January, you have a hard time adjusting to the fact that Christmas is over!

 

...when you have watched every singles Disney movie twice.

 

For me it's when you watch Spongebob and Fairly Odd Parents. xD

 

You start looking forward to Halloween months ahead of time.

 

...you get a kick out of ridiculous images which combine Star Wars with St. Patrick's day:

 

....you have a coloring book in your purse for when you get bored on night shift.

 

... you don't fit your diapers anymore
