Underage Drinking



We all know there is a problem with underage drinking. I, of course, try to educate my children to the dangers so they will not be influenced by peer pressure to drink or anything else. With that said, I will tell you a story. I am enjoying the Halloween party. I went out to the dance floor to check out what was going on outside. I gaze across the dance floor and see my lovely 10 year old daughter filling a cup with Frozen Margarita... under the careful instruction of her Gramma DeDe! My first thought was that El was filling the glass for DeDe... but why would DeDe be showing her how to use the machine instead of just filling her own? By now I am across the floor and asking El just why she is fixing herself a cocktail. She and DeDe act a bit surprised to find out this is a Margarita machine and not a Slushie machine. Right, how many times have you heard that one? "But I thought it was a slushie machine".

Maybe your next guests will be a better influence on your children (Lauren & ME)! Grandma DeDe teaching El to drink. Grandma Pat teaching Eva potty humor. My oh my.
