Do you ever catch yourself acting like a little kid?

Asked by ibstubro (18804points) February 20th, 2015

Today I was at the grocery and 80/20 ground pork was $1.97 a pound for a 10# frozen chub. I asked the meat guy if he’d cut it into burgers for me. He agreed.

I had a few minutes to kill, so I started walking up and down the freezer section. Suddenly, I realized I was walking like a little kid imitating a soldier…stomping my heel, then dropping my foot flat. Clomping up and down the aisle in my hiking shoes.

I don’t know if anyone saw me, and I wasn’t embarrassed. What really hit me was that if I’d seen a first grader doing it, I would have stood quietly and watched, grinning at the naivete and self-entertainment.

Have you caught yourself in a moment like that?
Can you still be a kid at heart?
