Being told off as an adultWhen was the last time you were properly told off? You know: treated as an errant child rather than the sophisticated adult you are.
The sort of thing that dredges up an involuntary teenage mumble of "Sorry, Miss" whilst you stare at the ground.
Go on, tell us what childish thing you were up to when you got caught.
Oh, and can we have more than one-line answers this time? Cheers!

Told off by the kidsAt what age does the adult/child relationship change and the adult gets told off by the child? It seems to be when they get into their teens and want to be cool, but the adult, freed of a bit of responsibility, starts to have a bit more fun.
My daughter was always telling me off when she was 14/15, mostly for being embarrassing. This would happen when I was just having a bit of fun. Like, setting off all the 'Bouncing Tiggers' in Toys R Us, at the same time (see also 'Laughing Pooh' and 'Tickle me Elmo'), Superman on the trolleys at the supermarket, or breaking wind silently in shops and quietly telling her that we should move before someone notices. "That's SO childish"
