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!

Less bitter, more cuteThe bus stop near my house is near a rather sharp turn, making for pratfall hijinx when attempting to walk down from the top floor.
One evening, there was a small boy (around 6 or 7) sitting upstairs, behaving himself, and, when it came time to get off at my stop, he also made to leave.
He stopped at the top of the stairs and looked down.
"Excuse me," I said politely, hanging on to the railings as it hit the curve.
"No!" he said firmly. "We have to wait for it to stop!"
And so we did.
