yet the third post in as many hours

Dec 24, 2005 21:30

so my dad walks down the stairs and casually announces to me "we're making eggnog." if you know my dad, you know how odd this is.

at the beginning of october i did birthday shots of vodka. in half an hour. i woke up at 3:30 a.m. restrained in a hospital bed. my dad was there. oops.

to keep it on the real, i tell my parents "oops, sorry, i won't tell you that it won't happen again because you know that's a damn lie. i will tell you that i'm smarter now." my dad says "it's all gravy, you didn't know this but i'm pretty much the only man on my side of the family who isn't an alcoholic." wow. guess i lucked out.

following this, he begins to drop subtle hints. offering me liquor or beer at family gatherings.

it should be noted that until this time we never had more than a 6 pack in the house at any one time. my dad or mom might have a beer on holidays. never more. the only exception was the puerto rican rum that's been aging on a shelf in our basement since before i could reach it. since october bottles of liquor and cases of beer have been distributed festively about the ol' domicile.

i think he may be trying to get me to drink with him...
