I still cry when I don't get what I want... just secretly in bathrooms. I'm not spoiled... just emotionally unstable.

Oh man. We have fish sticks over here as well as fish n chips (we call them fish fingers though) and it is totally acceptable to eat them as a grown up. Loads of gastro pubs even do posh fish-fingers sarnies with ciabatta and tartare sauce and other such nonsense.

If you are a woman and you ask to see a man's penis, I give you 4:1 that he will do it.

Also, pick your nose, just not in public.

Also, run around your yard naked. Who cares?

Also, we gave up fishsticks when we realized how good fish and chips were.

Also, plenty people cry when they don't get what they want. They are called "spoiled."

Also, some of us are applauded for everything we do. It is called 'talent.'

Also, I am bitter at not being a kid.

Excellent list! However, it's my understanding that as long as you have them with ketchup, fish sticks are in fact a nutritionally complete meal. (Ketchup is a vegetable, you know.) You should probably add a dish of ice cream, though, so you have something from the dairy group.

Nice. I don't really miss ALL of those (never really liked fish sticks) but I sure do wish I could get away with running around naked. Damn indecent exposure laws and modesty! Clothes are so annoying, especially in the summer. I'd never where them if that didn't mean being naked all the time. Unfortunately the two tend to go hand in hand. So I just have to settle for taking off all my clothes once I get into my bedroom after a hot day, and inadverdently flashing all my neighbors when I forget to draw my brand-new curtains.

I don't think I ever actually ASKED a boy to show me his penis either, but I did often have opposite sex buddies with which to run around naked and this was always quite an occasion. Adults think little kids are so innocent and unaware but, actually, they're checking out each other's junk. Or I was just a little perv.
