Dearest Blogospherians, please accept my sincerest apologies for taking so long in getting another installment of E’s Elucidations together. With some gentle prodding and excellent topic suggestions from the lovely Rachel over at Whostheboss, I got my ass in gear and am happy to present my child’s take on drinking and alcohol:
WHY DO YOU THINK ADULTS DRINK ALCOHOL?
E: Um, hmm… probably because they think it tastes good so it gets really addicting to drink.
WHAT DO YOU THINK ALCOHOL TASTES LIKE?
E: I’m not sure.
HOW DO YOU THINK ALCOHOL MAKES YOU FEEL?
E: Calm and relaxed because when people drink alcohol they are always sitting back and relaxing.
WHAT DOES GETTING DRUNK MEAN?
E: When you drink a lot of alcohol and then it makes you crazy.
HOW MANY DRINKS DO YOU THINK IT TAKES TO GET DRUNK?
E: Five or ten.
SHOULD YOU DRINK AND DRIVE?
E: No, because you might get in a car accident because you’re crazy and drunk.
WHY AREN’T KIDS ALLOWED TO HAVE ALCOHOL?
E: Because it’s bad for them. Their parents probably don’t want them to get drunk because they’ll get crazy and swear.
WHAT SHOULD YOU DO IF SOMEONE OFFERS YOU ALCOHOL?
E: Say “no” and run away.
IS BEER WORSE THAN WINE?
E: Yes, because wine is made from grapes so it’s healthier and beer is mostly alcohol – that’s what I’m guessing.
WHAT IS A HANGOVER?
E: I have no clue.
Hope you enjoyed that! Now, I’m going to go grab myself five (or ten) beers and relax!
Two Lazy Dogs 
I’m snorting so loud in my office, that people are starting to come by and check to see if I’m choking.
Well, honey, just make sure no one administers the Heimlich Maneuver – we wouldn’t want you down for the count!
Made from grapes so it’s healthier .. hahaha! So innocent, that girl. Great interview!
Heehee…yeah, guess I’m going with the wine since it’s healthier! Thanks!
I love the way she equates being drunk with being crazy and swearing and the number of drinks she says it takes to get drunk. I suppose if you are under the 5 drink limit you are simply relaxed! Good to know! Good stuff. I love it! 😉
I’m not sure where she gets the idea that you go “crazy” when you’re drunk…but it is funny. I love her answer to the question about someone offering her alcohol: “Say no and run away”! Heehee.
TOOOOOO funny!
Thanks! She loves the interviews.
WHAT SHOULD YOU DO IF SOMEONE OFFERS YOU ALCOHOL?
E: Say “no” and run away.
I laughed myself silly reading that…
think someone gave that advice to every woman I have offered to buy a drink for lately…
That’s my favorite response also. I laughed and laughed when she answered that one!
Awww…I’d accept a drink from you dear…if only you’d offer me one!! 😉
What was the first question again? Ok I’m done.. where’s the fire escape around here..?
😉
Well hello, Mr. B., so nice of you to stop by.
The fire escape is right here, silly…follow me!!
Awww, I wish I had seen this earlier! Thanks for mentioning me and as usual, I had a good laugh!
I have been really busy this week and not being in internet world at all so, logging on and seeing this post made me SO happy, Thanks!
I loved her responses: amount of drinks to get drunk, what she would do if offered, and so innocently not knowing or even trying to attempt to figure out what a hang over is.
So glad you saw it, Rachel. I was worried it would get shoved down the line and you’d miss it! I’m glad it made you happy…hope all is going well with you.
Seriously, where have you been all my blogging life? I was just thinking recently about interviewing my kids again. (i did it a few times on my other blog. sorry you missed that blog, it fucking kicked ASS) and i find that you have a whole little q and a section started!!! how totally fucking cool. your daughter had some great answers btw, would you mind if maybe i stole your q’s and seen how my daughter would answer? if not, it’s totally cool. just thought it would be fun to compare.
Go right ahead and steal away…I did a couple of interviews a few months back about love/dating (“All you need is love” and “Breaking up is hard to do”)…take those, too. I do have a bunch more that I’m working on. I can email those questions to ya if you want – it’d definitely be cool to compare the girls answers.
