Lite beer is for lite weights.

Coupla years back I was at a birthday party for my then three year old grandson. A football game was playing in the background, and a Bud Lite advert comes on. My eight year old grandson, his older brother pipes up, "What's Bud Lite?" My wife looks over at me and says, "We don't like Bud Lite, do we, Paqa (me)?" His other grandmother tries to reinforce the message, "No we don't, do we, Paqa?"

I am nothing if not amenable, and in a spirit of a honesty and respect, I replied, "Give me a Pilsner, or stout, maybe an ale or a good lager, but that dishwater [I was trying to be polite] they call Bud Lite? Never!" My wife shot her co-grandmother a look that said "Don't encourage him." Hey, I was just trying to help.

My grandson was not in the least confused, and seemed to take my reply to heart.

Hey, you were just helping to refine his palate at an early age, is all. Molding him into a fine young man. In a few years, he'll be the toast of the frat party. LOL
