Drinking and Summer Vacation

The only exception that I remember is Oldfort, who breaks the law and serves other children- with their parents’ permission.



I will serve other children, with their parents’ permission, if the parents are actually there with us, which is not uncommon when we have get-togethers. Many of our friends are also our kids’ friends parents (and I’d say 98% of them all live within two-three miles of our home). In light, if we are at another friends’ home and my kid asks me if they can drink there, I always tell them I have to get the OK from the parent hosts. We have an interesting mix of friends; some kids, although 21, have been known to be their parents’ DD for the evening. It seems as if everytime we all get together, each family arrives with it already planned out as to which family member (kids included) will be the DD.

All this talk of parties, etc makes me realize we haven’t seen many of these people since the winter break and it’s making me miss them. I may have to do something to remedy that soon… like when D2 is home for all of four days of her spring break starting next weekend. By the way, D2 has also attended bar tending school as a backup plan for income as she pursues a career in performing arts after college.
