Do you guys ever worry that you are becoming less creative with your toys as you get older and that they are becoming less worthwhile because you can't play with them as effectively?

Every year on my birthday I ask for a cheap spiderman action figure as a 'joke' gift. I also ask for 1 random household item to be packaged along with the spiderman. I then try to play with them and create a story based on the playing that I do with the two objects.

Picture 1 is the story I created 5 years ago
Picture 2 is the story from this year.

Apologies for the fonts being ugly, I just typed these up for the thread, I handwrite the stories and my writing is a mess.

I am concerned for myself, because this years story was pathetic, uncreative and stupid whereas 5 years ago I actually made quite a fun and creative story.

How do you guys stay creative when you play with your toys? You must have adult lives and struggle with it, right?
