Scenes of an Adult Nature
The following blog post is not safe for children. Totally safe for work though!
- Ice Cream with chocolate sauce, raspberries and a raspberry biscuit sandwich
Dougal and I had a discussion recently about not taking advantage of our ‘grown-up’ status often enough. As a kid you dream of all the things you’ll do when you’re a grown-up, be it never having to take a bath, or my own memory, serving just cake mix, raw for pudding.
You spend all this time fantasising about what to do when there are no rules, but then, when you are an adult, you are so used to the rules and why they exist you forget that now there’s nothing stopping you from breaking them.
In honour of this, the other day, Dougal and I decided to have ice cream for breakfast. It was pretty cool! Of course, it was fairly grown up ice cream- Luca’s Vanilla, quite a dark chocolate sauce, some fresh rasps (out of the freezer and defrosted for as long as the ice cream, so still slightly cold!) and topped with scrummy heart shaped biscuits that D had made the day before- a pair, sandwiched together with my mummy’s finest raspberry jam. Definitely not for kids.
So. My challenge for you now, dear readers, is to go forth this week and take advantage of being a grown up. Have pudding first. Or make jelly that looks like boobs. And then blog it, or comment here.
Eventually as a grown up you get fat and have to be sensible all over again. I, however, do not cycle to work every day for various reasons.
I have to say, this does seem like a very good way to be grown-up, though.
