Funny things kids say about beer.

My son, now 12, dips a finger in each new beer I try and once in a crowded bar let me know his disappointment in my order of a porter because he prefers stouts. That resulted in a lot of funny looks from other customers but luckily no calls from Child Protection Services.

 

Thank goodness for those Catholic schools. They were giving us wine at every service.

 

Hey I resemble that remark.

 

I was in a BevMo around Thanksgiving and saw a guy with a shopping cart full of beer and his daughter who was probably about three or four. She spotted Green Flash IPA in an aisle lined with sixers and bombers from head to foot and said, "Look Daddy, your favorite! You should get that." He said, You're right, honey," and grabbed one. Then she said, "Daddy, you won't be able to fit all of this in the fridge. You should get more cans." I sincerely hope if/when I have kids that they're that cool.

 

Wow. What a coincidence. We were at the opposite pump and my 3 year old overheard this, and said, "Pop, did you hear that? That poor little girl doesn't know that Bud and Bud Light are brewed with rice as the adjunct, not corn! What's this country's pre-school education coming to these anyway!"

 

I was in Total Wine the other day with my wife and 20 month old. I was, of course, in the beer aisle, when i hear a little voice one aisle over yelling, "I got to get my beer! I got to get my beer!" Sure enough my wife was trying to catch my daughter as she ran down the aisle yelling this. People were staring, but I was just so proud. Baby's all grows up!

 

Furthering your case for BA of the year!

 

Within the last year, My 10 year-old daughter told me that she sensed that the 2012 Hopslam was a lot less fruity tasting than 2011 and that this years Celebration was missing some of the cinnamon from last year. Cinnamon? Crazy kid!

 

Great thread. My son (4 yrs old) begs me to go to the liquior store. Each time we go, he says "Look dad" and starts pointing out and naming beers. "Look dad, Firestone Walker, Stone, Green Flash" and always my favorite, "Look dad, Old Rasputin!" He wows all the BA's, especially since he can't even read. He also has to "smell" every beer I open, and he add the hops to my boil kettle when brewing. Proud of that boy!

 

Yeah, we gotta be careful what we say in front of our little ones. They never seem to mimic our more eloquent statements. (Although I like what your little one said) I remember driving along, when some jackass did something stupid and I let out a -> "God dammit." Not 5 seconds later, I hear my lil' 1 and 1/2 yr old daoughter, safely bundled in her carseat, looking so angelic, blurt out "God dammit." I was bummed, yet relieved. I had recently been working on not dropping the F-bomb while I'm driving.

 

I really hope you said "more than you."

 

My son Googled 'Heady Topper' and used the image feature...now when I call his cell (he's 12), a picture of the Heady logo comes up...NOT my picture.

 

A few years back I was a preschool teacher. It was my first year teaching. One day, the class was gathered in a circle and I led them in the jaunty tune "Down by the Bay." "(where the watermelons grow, back to to my home, I dare not go, for if I do, my mother will say..")

Kids took turns naming things or animals to sing about, Someone suggested "deer." We began "Did you ever see a deer..." when a little girl, not skipping a beat, belted out "drinking a beer! Down by the bay!"

I was then faced with either allowing the entire class to sing her verse, or stop the song and change it, thus deeming it inappropriate and taboo and a huge topic of conversation for the rest of the day...

 

I was supposed to be playing in the basement with my 2.5 year old but was really sitting in my cellar staring at the beers. (Pathetic I know, but don't pretend like you don't do it). Anyway, my wife yells down, "Evan, are you having fun playing with daddy?" He responds in a cute 2.5 year old voice "No daddy lookin at his buur"

 

Have any of your children amazed you by saying something funny and/or wise about beer?

For instance, I was visiting my in-laws in Baltimore this past weekend, and my brother-in-law, who is on the cusp of craft-hood, happened to have a few Natty Boh's lying around. Sure, I'll have one. I didn't bother with a glass, because my in-laws don't really have much appropriate glassware around, and also, it's Natty Boh. Sure enough, my 4.5 year old says, "Daddy, how come you're drinking the beer from where it comes from (i.e. the bottle)?" I said "You're right, daddy made a mistake."

I was so proud of him!

 

Not about beer, but at my church a little girl after taking a sip of the communion wine said happily "That was tasty!" loud enough for everyone to hear.

 

I work with kids. The other day, a 4th grader said to me "mr......you and I should go out for a bud light" I laughed and answered ".......I would be happy to take you out when you're 21, but, I can guarantee you it will not be for bud light"

 

I used to take my daughters to Beef O'Brady's on Friday (family friendly sports bar franchise), for what I told them was Happy Hour...later on in the year, at soccer practice, the coach informed the team that a change in the practice schedule was going to include a Friday session from 5-8PM...my 12 year old jumped up and screamed...."Not Friday, I won't be able to go to Happy Hour"....I was very proud

 

After swooning over Mosaic from The Other Half, my 11 year old son asked me if it was better than Heady.
