Silly rabbit, Trix are for kids!

We have heard many times that “Trix are for kids” but how exactly would you define what a kid is?  A man is as old as he feels and a woman is as old as she looks, they say.  So is age relevant?  [Maxims and Proverbs]  Age is difficult to understand, but can be comprehended. [Contradiction]

According to dictionary.com [Authority], a kid is a young person or child and a child is a person between birth and full growth.  [Definition]  Every adult was once a kid so we can be assured that every kid will become an adult [Past Fact/Future Fact] and by doing so grown out of Trix. [Enthymeme]  However much an adult or rabbit desires to eat Trix, we know that it is impossible because it would be “silly” to do such a thing thus making an adult childish. [Possible/Impossible]  The only adult that would eat Trix would be acting as if he were a child and not an adult.

Many adults go through a middle-aged crisis in which they try to trick themselves into feeling younger, but are Trix really the answer? [Notation and Conjugates]  If adults eat highly sugared treats, then their health will suffer. [Antecedent and Consequence]  A doctor would not advice the elderly to eat a cereal with more than 46% sugar, so if you are elderly you should avoid Trix at all costs. [Degree] And if you are rabbit you should avoid Trix even more so, as veterinarians would not encourage this behavior even if all the kids you know are eating Trix. [Degree]


When it all comes down to it, we should let kids, who need energy and sugars to grow, eat Trix.  If you are not a kid and want to eat Trix, take a second thought and remember “Trix are for kids.”

  1. I can't logically argue with your reasoning. That being said, I'll eat Trix till the bitter end :)

    Great post. I liked the middle-aged crisis. I immediately thought of how funny it would have been if my dad had, instead of coming home with a new car, came home with an equal value of Trix.

  2. I think you did a great job with rhetoric, I respect your ethos on this subject because of the tone and formality of your statements. Even though I completely respect your arguments, your essay made me smile because I have never had a serious discussion about Trix.
