Bartending for Toddlers

Scene: In the bath

Beckett (playing with his bath toys): Here mom, here's your hot chocolate.

Me: Mmmmm. Such delicious hot chocolate.

Beckett: No, its not hot chocolate. It's beer.

Me: Beer?

Beckett: I don't drink beer. Beer is for grown ups, not for toddlers. When I'm a grown up I drink beer.

(Dad arrives on the scene.)

Mom: Beckett gave me some beer, but it's not for toddlers.

Beckett: I don't drink Scotch (He learned this from Uncle Larry.) Scotch is for grown ups.

Mom: Not all grownups. I don' t drink it. I drink water, and juice and sometimes wine. So does daddy. And sometimes daddy drinks hair of the dog.

Beckett: That would make you very sick. We don't eat dog hair.

(Okay: I know this is kind of a "you had to be there" thing. No where else to remember to write it down.)

(Here is Beckett with his cowboy hat, sunglasses, tie, phone and binoculars. But I think he for got his clothes.)
