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!

I've been on the other side of it...As I have mentioned many times before, I have three kids. This is significant in that sometimes you find yourself doing parental things at inappropriate moments.
My wife had been out of town for a bit, so when I went to pick her up I piled the kids into the minivan and drove to the train station to get her. As my youngest still needed a car seat at that point, she was strapped into the front passenger seat while the boys and her mother were in the back.
As we drove along I glanced in the rearview mirror and saw my wife biting at a hangnail. I heard myself bark out, "Stop biting your nails!" before I realized who I was addressing.
The expression on her face was priceless.
