She brings out the child in me

Is it normal that my seven year old niece just brings out the child in me? When i am around her, i act like a kid just like her. i recall all my childhood experiences and attitudes. And ill confess its FUN. like carefree fun. The kind that rejuvinates you

On the outside world, i lead a professional job at a bank. well spoken. professional. mature. grown up. all that

But when i take care of her, we go to the park,paint play we engage in activities, play sports.etc and i dont know what gets over me. its like i blurt out random things without even thinking about it twice. and we laugh. and we just go with it. my creative side comes out. i act totally silly in front of people which i would otherwise dare not do. my mindset is in us. is this a childish act that is normal?

Adults who are around children, do you bring out your inner child around them? or do you do it whilst rolling your eyes, just for the sake of not ruining it for them? or is it genuine?

My inner behavior is genuine. people stare at us in public. im beginning to think if this is normal.

im a 26 year old female by the way

    Aww... Same here!

    I have a 7 yr old aunt and she LOVES the stuff that I enjoy. Heh, we have so much in common. Plus, the rest of my family is so awkward to be with... so I'm pretty much most comfortable around her.

    I hate it when my mom does this...
    When you get older and have children of your own don't act weird.
    Because your children will be embarrassed as shit!!!!

    • well no its all relative. of course i wouldnt embarass my pre teens or teens by trying to act cool like them, thats just not cool lol

      im talking about children's fantasies and if adults indulge in them as well

      for example if ur watching cartoons with a child do you actually watch cartoons...and like them

        Haha you're headed on the right path then... I was just reminiscing ;)
        I also don't see a problem with what you do because its the adults who fashion the toys and cartoons for the kids anyway.
