Looking for creative writing prompts for adults that aren't about trauma

Every list of creative writing prompts for adults seems to assume you want to write about your deepest traumas. 'Write about the worst thing that ever happened to you.' 'Describe a moment of profound loss.' Sometimes I just want to write something fun or weird or silly. I'm in a community writing group and we take turns bringing prompts, but I'm running out of ideas that aren't either too serious or too childish. I found some good ones recently about inanimate objects having conversations—like two buildings across the street from each other suddenly gaining the ability to talk . That was so fun and weird. Or writing from the perspective of a mushroom communicating underground . Anyone have prompts that are imaginative and playful without being dumb? I want to write, not cry.
