Did y'all ever do stuff when you were kids that genuinely was just childish fun, but would be totally different now that we're grown?

When I was little, one of my favorite games was "guess my parents". A better name would have been "guess my race", but "parents" was how six year olds put it lol. And I loved it because I'd always win. The little red head girl? Imma guess Ireland or Scotland. The girl speaking fluent Spanish? Easy. But then they'd get to me. And I knew I'd win because nobody's going to guess Native American, African, Mexican and Scottish. But as we got older, we realized "oh, maybe assuming that girl is Mexican because she has brown skin ISN'T okay". But we spent many many recesses playing that game up until we were about eight or nine, and then some white girl ( a sweetheart really) got to me and was like um .... I'm only going to guess for the white people. And oh ok 馃槀

We used to play marriage with other kids. We married and get pregnant ( we put pillows in our shirts), have children (teddy bears). It was hilarious. As we grow up, we don't see ourselves as a kid anymore. Well, those memories really awkward when we barely talk to each other now.

@SW-User we did similar things, but I think the worst part was that we had designated roles. I had one boy in my class who I low-key had a huge crush on and he was always the dad and I was the kid. Some other girl was his wife and I was super jealous. But the bad part was, up until like fifth grade, I refered to him as "Mr. daddy" with NO idea of the implications behind it馃槀馃槀 thankfully in fifth grade we went on a field trip to this place called biz-town and he was my boss there so I switched to calling him Mr. Boss Man lol.
