"Pops, what i meant by "im one of the few!" is that i haven't even tried anything. No drugs, and no alcohol. (except for an accidental swig of rum and coke when i was younger) I don't know why but I just don't see whats so cool / attractive about laughing at everything, eating a lot, and not being able to stand. The real entertainment is when you get to see the people who do those things try to interact with reality."
My kid. Proud momma.
And the bold part...Chris was there, too, and loved to tell me the story about it. They were working at the shop, and they had drinks in those red plastic cups. Nick's was Coke, my dad's was rum and Coke. Nick accidentally picked up Dad's and took a huge swig, thinking it was his own. He was about 7 at the time. He announced that his Coke was flat. Apparently Dad freaked a little and told Chris "DON'T TELL HEATHER!"
But yeah, Nick's been through the ringer with his (biological) dad's drinking. So stupid.
