Saturday morning my 8yo son was invited to a birthday party at a movie theater in a neighboring town. I dropped him off and then raced back to "our" grocery store to pick up groceries for the week. (I can't shop at a foreign grocery store - I get lost in the aisles.)
I noticed that beef was on sale so I bought ten pounds of eye of the round and enough carrots and potatoes to turn it into beef stew. But my puritanical grocery store doesn't sell alcohol so I couldn't pick up any red wine for the stew.
I was running short on time so I headed back to the movie theater to pick up my son. He grabbed his goodie bag and we walked over to that town's grocery store - which is much more progressive - and bought a bottle of pinot noir.
Did I mention that my son was 8? Because even though he was with me while we were in the store, I was pretty sure he really wasn't paying any attention to what I was buying.
Apparently I was wrong, because as we got back into the car he leaned forward into the front seat and said, "Now don't drink that until we get home."
Ha! Loved this. (-:
Kids say the darndest things.

That's pretty freaking awesome!
I live in a state where I cannot buy wine at the grocery store . . . it's a pain.
