OverHeard At The Nutz Household
Monday, June 25, 2007
Fresh from the halls of Bible School, Nicklaus is filled with religious knowledge. Add the DARE program ( D rug Abuse R esistance E ducation) he took at school and he is filled with the horrors and dangers of alcohol. He was on a little tirade the other day about it. About how people shouldn't drink, they should have to wait until they are 61 ( weird number, not 60 not 65 but 61, he's my kid) like a little broken record he was. Chatter, chatter, chatter, didn't stop. I tried to go about doing my usual stuff. I was in my "clean mode" nothing was gonna deter me. I ignored all the non life-threatening screams of the younger ones while Nicklaus doggedly followed me around. However, following is what my son asked me next, and I just couldn't let this one go by without a response.
Nick: Mom, drinking is bad. How long have you been sober?
Momz: Jesus Christ and Mary too, Nicklaus, you act like I've been in a 12 step program or something..."My name is Kellie, I've got my 90 day chip. How long have I been sober? Way too long to deal with this house today..."
Nick: Mom, what's a 90 day chip?
Nick: Mom, drinking is bad. How long have you been sober?
Momz: Jesus Christ and Mary too, Nicklaus, you act like I've been in a 12 step program or something..."My name is Kellie, I've got my 90 day chip. How long have I been sober? Way too long to deal with this house today..."
Nick: Mom, what's a 90 day chip?
