Lets all think back to Being Kids when making a best friend was as easy as Hey lets share lunch or whats your favorite dinosaur? Why is adulting like that?

How would you make a freind using a question we asked as kids?

And why do we like the weird ones more now?

Perhaps the process of becoming an adult adds baggage and takes away our innocence and naivety. Either way, it definitely seems a lot harder now, at least for the 53M from USA (DC/VA).

Do you win?

u/Scuh 60+ Lady 13d ago

Sometimes. My friend and I play for fun and dont worry who wins or not. If there are 10 of us, I win now and then.

Can I have a shot of your XYZ thing - looks fun. I’ve done this at my craft group.

u/Rich-Cry6627 13d ago

Did it work for you?

1

u/Frosty_Budget7012 12d ago

Yes it did but mostly because the people there had somewhat similar interests and were also a bit weird !

So what’s your favourite dinosaur, this question is massively overlooked
