Champagne

We don't drink all that much Champagne in our house, but whenever we do, Po gets on a six-month Champagne kick. Kid Champagne, to be exact.

So I'll occasionally let him pick out a bottle. Apple, pear, cranberry...whatever. This last time he picked out Strawberry Kid Champagne. He's having a glass with dinner, and he says "Mommy, since I'm having Strawberry Kid Champagne, I think I need a strawberry in it.

Really? Really. Does he know that's a thing? He can't. "So you want a strawberry to enhance the flavor of the Champagne?" I inquired.

"Yes."

"Okay, buddy, you got it." So I pulled a strawberry out of the fridge, washed it, and dropped it in his plastic Champagne glass.

"But..." he protested.

"Nope. Grownups do it with the stems on."

"O....K..." He took a swig. "Mmmmmmmmmm! WAY better!"

Don't ever fault me for not teaching my kid the essentials in life.
