I ’ll never look at water parks the same means again .

It’s undeniable that the things we loved as kids just kind of lose their ~magic~ as we grow up. I don’t know about you, but I genuinely can’t remember the last time I was excited for real mail in my mailbox rather than coupons for 20% off dry cleaning.

So when redditoru/Athompson9866asked theAsk Redditcommunity “What was fucking awesome as a kid, but sucks as an adult?”, people were quick to share the things that just don’t bring them that same childlike joy anymore.

Here are some of the most relatable responses:

1.The mall

2.Water parks

3.Any kind of fair or carnival

4.Summer

5.Sick days

6.Staying up late

7.Birthdays

8.Losing a tooth

9.Snow days

10.Getting mail

11.Grocery shopping

12.Christmas

13.Roller coasters

14.Staying over at someone’s house

15.Having people stay at YOUR house

16.Junk food

17.Traveling

18.And finally, having literally any amount of money
