It’s fun to learn! Wait, that’s not a wine carrier. Or maybe: if the bottle fits….

Adult
Luke: [age 7] "How old do you have to be before you're an adult?"
Me: "I guess that depends on what you mean by 'adult'."
Luke: "You know. Old enough to do adult things."
Me: "Well, you can drive when you're 16, vote when you're 18, and buy cigarettes at 18 too."
Mom: "And you can buy alcohol when you're 21."
Me: "But being grown up is not really about how many years you have lived. There are a lot of people who are much older but don't act their age."
Luke: "Like you, Dad?"
Me: "Hey!"

Drinking beer
Luke: [age 7] "Are you drinking beer?"
Me: [holding an open beer bottle] "No, this is for the pizza dough." [gestures to breadmaker and other ingredients] "We're having pizza tonight. I'm prepping the dough now."
Luke: "But I just saw you drink from the bottle."
Me: "Well, yeah, of course I took a swig. This is good beer."
Luke: "But we haven't even had breakfast yet."
Me: "That's why I only took a swig. The rest is for the dough. I don't drink alcohol except with supper."
Luke: "You mean, except with supper /and/ when you're making pizza dough."
Me: "If you like."
Luke: "Can I have a taste?"
Me: "No."
