My Son WILL NOT Drink Root Beer
This, as you can see, is a bottle of Root Beer. My husband bought this because it was a childhood favorite of his, a ‘special treat’, as we call it in our house.
He remembers making Root Beer floats and remembers this particular brand as being very, very good.
He offered a sip to my son,
“You wanna try some Root Beer? It’s my favorite!”
My 4-year-old looked at him and stated very firmly,
“Daddy, I don’t drink Beer. It’s for adults.”
My Big Guy chuckled and continued,
“No, this is Root Beer, not adult beer. You can try it.”
“No Daddy, I don’t drink ANY beer. Beer is for adults.”
My husband tried to then explain that it is just a name and that Root Beer is a (non-caffeinated) type of soda… like Sprite. We’ve let Little Guy try some Sprite at special occasions.
But my son was having none of it.
“It’s beer Daddy. And I don’t drink beer.”
Nothing like having a self-regulating 4-year-old.
Does this mean we are doing a good job? I’m not sure…
