I grew up in the '60s when it was totally acceptable for me (starting around age 4 or 5) to light my dad's cigars, finish his beers, and mix my mom's old fashioneds. Heck, it didn't take long for me to figure out that if mom was being particularly irritable that day it was easy to fix. I just doubled up on the Jack Daniels. Talk about learning coping skills . . .

I always spit it out directly afterward, and they then proceeded to laugh at the face I had made while shoving water at me. Because that's how my parents are, apparently. Although I STILL don't like alcohol much, at 21, so. Who knows. From the time I was about 12 onwards, my parents let me take one sip of their wine / whatever they were drinking when I asked.

This rule made me comment because it's actually what my parents did to me when I was little. I've been a bartender since the age of 5, and there's absolutely nothing wrong with me. Boys appreciate when I notice their beer is getting low and instantly grab another one for them. If anything, I've got the advantage over other girls my age. I can't wait to have kids of my own to act out on all of this parenting advice! I just started reading your blog, and I have to say it’s hilarious.
