Is a 47-yr-old woman too old to be playing in a revolving door?
God, I hope not, because I just did it, and it was fun.

2. Other than physical limitations
none of us are too old for anything.

3. Revolving doors were my absolute favorite as a child!
I distinctly remember the one at the Equitable Building in downtown Baltimore.

6. I had never seen a revolving door IRL until I began working
in Washington, DC. I was afraid the first few times.

4. Are you kidding? I was very successful at embarrassing my children in public.
I must stay in form to embarrass any potential grandchildren. That or being able to make them my cohorts in "crime."

7. The older you get, the more you realize that most grown-ups are just acting like what they think
grown-ups should act like. If you're playing in a revolving door instead of posing and scowling with your eminence front, you've got it figured out. Come and join the party dressed to kill. :)

12. Amen

Now that my kids are older, I have to ASK for crayons and something to color at restaurants.

8. BV, It depends on things like your attention span and how easily amused you are...
hey, I love to watch TV, so I'm not judging...

9. Try those glass elevators in really tall buildings for some real fun!

21. I thought of the same thing!
When I lived closer to San Francisco the Hyatt Regency atrium lobby with its glass elevators was a good place to take visiting kids and kids-at-heart.
Standing in the glass capsule elevator with your toes against the atrium view side, you have the sensation of leaping straight up about 170 feet.

10. Depends on what you are playing, I would guess.
Tuba? Likely not a good idea.

11. I do it all the time.
There are times when I just can't fight the impulse and will turn cartwheels while out walking.

13. Not at all! But if Chuck Norris gets in the mood to slam it (and he can!), it can be dangerous.

And a puddle with a thin layer of ice on it? Heaven.

20. I'm not a doctor, -and I don't play one on TV
but I nonetheless prescribe channeling your inner child in this (or any other) manner any time the opportunity arises.

You go girrrrl!

22. Is it wrong for a 40 year old man to occasionally run down the up escalator?
Same answer... ;)

24. Want to see a couple of mid-40s suburbanites, married 20 years, run through sprinklers like kids?
Then look this way!

25. Hell no. That's what they are THERE for.
There's some weird myth that they really exist to limit the escape of hot/cold air for building efficiency, but I've never believed that shit. They are toys - simple as that.
