Life Lessons: Drinking & Driving

This morning while driving to Jena's to play, and I was sipping on a sweet protein shake, when Paige let me in on some information.

Paige: "Moooooooooooom, your gonna go to jail."

(Insert that special Oooooooohhhhhhh-I'm-Teeeeeelllllllling tone here.)
Mom: "Uh....why is that??"

(Spoken with genuine concern, I don't wanna go to jail. What was I doing? I thought I was obeying all traffic laws....seatbelts-check.....stoping on red-check......)

Paige: "Your drinking and driving! That's illegal."

(Said with the I'm-Five-And-I-Know-More-Than-You tone.)

Mom: "Paige, your not allowed to drink alcohol and drive...."

(Complete confusion on how to explain this one)

Paige: (Silence)

Mom: "Alcohol is...........like..........beer."

(I used beer for lack of another term. I know she doesn't know what liquor is, we don't drink at home.)

Paige: "Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh."

(Insert the Wow-I-Thought-I-Knew-Everything-But-Perhaps-I-Was-Wrong tone here.)

Cute huh?
