Hugh: What do you miss most about being a kid? These are the top 10 answers

Do you miss summer break, or having your cooking done for you? A survey of 2,000 adults revealed what they miss the most about their childhoods. Respondents miss playing in the park, getting pocket money, and watching TV after school. Reportedly, the most fun age was nine years old, and 56% of respondents said they lost their sense of fun as adults.

As adults, instead of waking up optimistic, respondents wake up thinking about the weather, work, money, and bills. “We want to remind people to bring a sense of that childlike fun and sunshine to the day,” Caroline Wilding of Tropicana Brands Group said. Check out the top ten responses below on what adults miss most about being a kid.

1. School holidays
