I don’t always buy drinking horns, but when I do they’re hand carved by actual heathens. #GenCon2016

Good Choices
My Oldest, age 14: “And where are you two going tonight on your date?”
Me: “A party.”
Oldest: “Will there be alcohol?”
Me: “Yes.”
Oldest: “Have you made arrangements for a designated driver?”
Me: “Wait… Which one of us is the parent here? This is like good cop / bad cop or something.”
Oldest: “You seem to be avoiding that last question.”
Me: (pause) “Yes, I will not drink so I can drive us home.”
Oldest: “Good. You may leave now.”
Bar None
Dinner with My Oldest, age 13.
Olive Garden Hostess: “Would you two like to wait for a table or just sit in the bar?”
Me: “Uh… How old do you think she is?”
Hostess: (horrified stare)
Me: “She’s 13.”
Hostess: “Oh my god! Really? I’m so sorry.”
Oldest: “It’s OK.”
Me: “No. No, it is not.”
