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…
