Rate your Inner Child

[HardyGirl]

I know, I come up w/weird stuff.

So how would you rate your inner child on a scale of 1 to 10?

10 is: "I never miss a chance (when appropriate) to let my Inner Child come out and play. I watch cartoons, read comic books, play w/ the toys in my collection and get down on the floor and play w/ my kids (if you have them) every chance I get, it's a stress reliever."

1 is: "I only collect to display and I haven't watched a cartoon since I was a kid. I feel silly playing on the floor w/ my kids, and you won't even catch me reading the comic section in the newspaper!"

If there is anything in between for you, feel free to come up w/ the definition to match the number.

I guess you guys know what I rate myself.

What about you?

[DocDrako]

Based on your definition, I have to give mine a "10".

I'd be about a 2

The weight of adult life just about killed most of my inner child

Interesting question.. Hmm.

1) Spending nearly all my internet time either here, 'Cover Browser', or on 'Bronze Age Babies', daily at work;

2) Rubbing most of my existing brain cells together devising payment plans to buy action figures, playsets and comics.., not to mention keeping all my eBay Silver Age comic collecting under-the-radar from the Mrs..;

3) Then stocking/reading all the fore-mentioned comics at my bed stand each night, when my wife's reading a devotional or talking about finances..;

4) Spending nearly all my 'monthly allowance' during my last desert deployment collecting my 'Holy Grails' off eBay, knowing the Roth IRAs are all being well-fed back home.

Yeah.., I'd rate myself an '8'...

I love your threads and this is a goodie!

How about under cover 10! I will enjoy most of the things you mentioned when alone in the confines of my man cave but would not mention them to my poker buddies as they have given me grief on my toys already......not like I care what others think but who needs the hassle!

This pretty much sums it up.

Probably a 7/10, I imagine. I have lots of figures, but never truly play with them. I watch something animated maybe once a week. I mix it up a lot--I just got through watching Riding Giants and am about to put in Wolfhound, so I'm all over the place.

most times a 5/6 ... but there are times (like when I pull out the tub of legos) I go off the scale and hit like 12 maybe even as high as 15

[jwyblejr]

It depends. During the week I'd give myself a 7. On weekends,it gets bumped up to about 8 or 9.

I thought I was the only one who wanted to do that.
