My mom told me this story years ago but not in as much detail as when she told it to my daughter last night...quite funny...had to share.
Thought maybe if anyone has a story to share they could join in...

So my mom said when I was a baby...not even 2 years old. She said we were at my grandparent's house. They were having a party and had a house full sitting around drinking and chatting it up.
She said that she caught me coming up from behind her trying to get a sip of her drink and she scolded me and slapped my hand away. She didn't think anything of it until people started reaching for their drink and would say "hey..." lifting up an empty glass. My mom said I was going up behind everyone and finishing off their drinks...alcoholic.
She said I was stumbling around bumping into everything..climbing onto a folding chair and the chair folded up on me...LOL.
God I wish I could type it up half as well as she told it...gotta luv mom

That is funny. I probably wouldn't have liked it. I tried my dad's beer on occasion, but I don't think I really liked it.

HA! Wow, that brought me back, and also.. a coincidence via your username...

When I was about four, my Grandpa was drinking in the garage. He always drank in the garage, under the premise of 'fixing something'

anyway, I was playing outside on a summer night, and IDK, wow, I guess he didn't feel like drinking alone that night, but he called me into the garage, and gave me some of his liquor in a thimble he kept in his tool box.

OK, this sounds bad, but it was the 70's, times were different.
I guess I became quite entertaining, so he gave me another thimble.

After awhile I went into the house, and my Grandma said it was time for me to change into my jammies.
So, I went and got them, and brought them out into the living room, but I kept trying to put both feet into ONE pajama leg.
At first my Gran thought I was just being goofy, until I fell OVER...

She said she came over to me, and I smelled like.. well, not like a four year old!
She was highly UNamused, and asked me what I'de been drinking .. (she knew what was up, my Grandpa had already raised kids..) and I said..

WINKY, GRANDMA!!!!!!

Which meant 'Whiskey'.
Yeah, sheesh. People, don't entertain yourself at the expense of your kids!!

LMFAO!!
I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall lol.

My other grandpa used to hang out in the garage too. With a beer in one hand and his pipe in the other. Man I miss the smell of his pipe...

But okay something gross..
My grandpa also used to chew tobacco and he kept an empty coffee can in the living room. My mom said when I was around 2 I also took a swig of his coffee can... yeah if that doesn't turn your tummy don't know what will lol. When I was older and my mom told me that story I colored some paper and wrote "Granpa's spit can" on it and wrapped it around the coffee can lol.

EDIT: Abs.. yeah my mom said back in the day they used to rub whiskey on a baby's gums lol. Don't know if that helped the baby much but I'm sure it helped mom a lil lol.
