💖 “You’re Too Old for Kids’ Shows” — Okay, Explain Why Every Adult Knows the Tracy Beaker Theme Song Then?

There’s this weird idea that once you become an adult, you’re supposed to suddenly stop liking “kids’ stuff.”

As if the moment you pay a bill, your brain automatically deletes:

• Saturday morning cartoons
• Disney Channel bangers
• Basil Brush chaos
• old CBBC idents
• comfort sitcoms
• animated films that STILL make you emotional for no reason

But honestly?
A lot of us never stopped loving them. And thank GOD we didn’t.

Because sometimes adulthood is exhausting, and nothing heals the soul faster than hearing:
“Boom Boom!”
or the first few seconds of a 00s theme tune.

And let’s be real — some “kids’ shows” were genuinely iconic.

We all watched:

• Tracy Beaker
• Hannah Montana
• SpongeBob SquarePants
• random educational shows that accidentally shaped our personalities
• cartoons with jokes aimed VERY clearly at the parents

Plus, nostalgia is comforting. Familiar shows can feel safe, calming, funny, and emotionally grounding — especially when life gets overwhelming.

Growing up doesn’t mean abandoning joy.
It just means now you can watch your comfort shows while eating snacks YOU paid for. 💅

Honestly, adulthood is just:
“I deserve financial independence and a rewatch of my childhood favourites.”

And I support that completely. 💖
