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!

A QuickieI teach English to immigrants and one time, an overly serious Polish woman told me off for laughing when her grown-up son explained to me that he lived with his family in a 'bollock of flats'. She was grammatically and phonetically correct in that reprimand, too. Impressive. Obviously not one of my regular students, then ;)
