Because we had a go at it and decided that being 'sensible and adult' isn't half as much fun as we were told it would be.

Reverting to childish games is also a great way to pass long afternoons in work. smiley - biggrin

All I know is I've given my 4 and 5 year old their first taste of resentment when they had to eat oatmeal for breakfast and I plopped down next to them with chocolate pudding and a dr. pepper. Wahahaha smiley - evilgrin I told 'em that as an adult, eating what I want whenever the h*ll I want is one of the few solaces I get. smiley - smiley The smiley - chicks weren't impressed, needless to say.
