SO WE’VE ALREADY established that there are some things you are never to old for.
Laughing at ‘Muff, Co Donegal’ or building a cushion fort are high on the list, as is watching cartoons.
We, with the help of some DailyEdge.ie readers have now put together a comprehensive list.
You will never ever be too old to:
1. Kick through a massive pile of leaves
(Only now that you’re a grown up you might have to rake them up again)
2. Play with Lego

Walking all round tesco without stepping on a join in the tiles! Do it with the carpet tiles in the office too. I’m 53.

Watch the Blair Witch Project at night with the curtains open. Go on.

Going down a hill really fast on your bike, especially when you take your feet off the pedals and it feels like you’re flying. Can’t beat it :)
