There are days when I feel like I have screwed up. There are days when it seems like I have brought my body with me to work but left my brain behind at home. However, even on my worst days I look pretty darn good compared to the workers at a restaurant who managed to get a three year old drunk on Margauritas. Someone, somewhere, had the brilliant idea to keep the apple juice and the marguirita mix in identical containers without labels. After all, nothing bad could ever come from that mix up! No one would ever pour liquor into a child's sippy cup and give it to them with their little child-friendly meal, never noticing the distinctly different smell of apple juice and alcohol. I must say that this child, he has a future in some fraternity somewhere in about 15 years. Most children I know when given a cup full of marguerita would have spit and sputtered and refused to drink it. He chugged with apparently speed and skill to make even the most beer-hardened frat brother proud. It did not occur to anyone that something may be wrong until the child began to lose his child-friendly meal. Congratulations Junior, you have been drunk and had your first hangover by the age of three! I can only imagine what the future will bring. As for the genius who made the executive decision to put apple juice and liquor in identical, unmarked containers - he's at home practicing the phrase "do you want fries with that?". And yet he will still make more money than I do and be more respected. I know companies are targeting a younger audience but I think this is a bit much. At least wait until the child can reach the bar without needing a booster seat...or until he can drink from an open cup!
