The Liquor Store - Bring Your Kids!

The man working at the liquor store gave my kids lollipops.

a) Yes. I had my kids with me at the liquor store. Just a continuation of the Klassy theme for 2012. (Actually, I was buying brandy for a recipe. But, I don't know why I'm bothering to tell you that. I hardly believe me, and I was there.)

b) Now I'm afraid the liquor store is going to be my kids' new favorite place to go. They'll probably ask to go there when we're at school... or church.

c) Why does the liquor store man have candy for the kids?!

And, on a completely unrelated note: No one carded me. Again. I mean, I could have had Spencer when I was *doing the math...* 12. Or I could have been their babysitter. (Note to self: I have got to get them to stop calling me "Mom" when I'm trying to look underage.) Anyway. The liquor store hurts my self-esteem.

*clink, clink* Coins in the therapy fund.

This is not my baby.
This is, however, hysterical... and disturbing...

Just go to whichever liquor store makes you show your ID when you're using your check card. That way you just get it out & preempt the cashier. You just "assume* he/she would need to see it to check your age, too.

When we were moving, I was at the liquor store a couple of times a week for boxes. With three kids in tow, because they were too young to leave in the car alone. It's majorly disturbing to take your kids into one of those places....not that I want to go in there alone, either.

Oh. I hadn't thought of that! It can't be wrong to use your kids for protection, can it? ;)
