> You know you are a grown up when you start requesting the middle pieces from the sheet cake. And instead of scraping off the huge rose made of frosting so you can eat it, you scrape it off to the side of the plate so you don't get sick.

I agree, no more icing for me.

You dip biscuits in fruit punch? Am I the only one to think this strange? It's best to dip them in tea... Especially Tim Tams, you bite off each end and then suck up the drink throught the middle.

I think it's maturity. Or maybe you can only physically eat so much junk in your life and if you eat a lot when you're younger, then you've already nearly filled your quota.
Now there's a scary thought...
