10 Heartbreaking Moments When You Realise You're Too Old For Things

8. Not Fitting Into The Swing Any More

You know the one I'm talking about, that contraption with the leg-holes and handlebars. There was a time long ago when you could slide your legs in (with a parent's help) and be pushed until your heart's content. Or you puked.

But you get a little older, you're out of the Pampers and can use the 'big boy toilet'. You're even learning that guys leave the seat up and it drives girls round the bend. On the next trip to the playground you take another look at the swing but find it has shrunk so much you'd never be able get your leg in. You watch the little ones clamber in with ease but know if you tried it yourself, you would end up contorted into a complex yoga position, crying for your guardian to help. A special mention goes out to all those who got their fat ass stuck going down the slide, which always so much bigger in earlier years.
