We were having a birthday party for my younger grandson at my daughter’s house, and a football game was on in the background. An ad for Bud Lite came on. My older grandson, about 11 at the time asked, “What’s Bud Lite?” My wife helpfully chimed in, “We don’t like Bud Lite.” and her co-grandmother joined in, “We don’t like Bud Lite, do we, Paqa (moi)?”, casting a glance in my direction.
Always ready to accommodate the ladies, and make my modest contribution to the nurture and upbringing of the next generation, I voiced my most resolute agreement, “Give me a good pilsner, or lager, maybe a stout or an ale, but that dishwater they call Bud Lite? Never!”
His other grandmother could not help grinning, but my wife shot her a look that plainly said “Do. Not. Encourage. Him.”
I take pride in my child rearing skills.
Beautiful!
If I had been in the room, I’d have given you a wink and a nod!
