Beer

[Mr Jones]

* Beer!

A handful of 7 year old children were asked "What they thought of

beer". Some interesting responses, but the last one is especially

touching.

"I think beer must be good. My dad says the more beer he drinks

the prettier my mom gets."

--Tim, 7 years old

"Beer makes my dad sleepy and we get to watch what we want on

television when he is asleep, so beer is nice."

--Melanie, 7 years old

"My Mom and Dad both like beer. My Mom gets funny when she drinks

it and takes her top off at parties, but Dad doesn't think this

is very funny."

--Grady, 7 years old

"'My Mom and Dad talk funny when they drink beer and the more

they drink the more they give kisses to each other, which is a

good thing."

--Toby, 7 years old

"My Dad gets funny on beer. He is funny. He also wets his pants

sometimes, so he shouldn't have too much.

--Sarah, 7 years old

"My Dad loves beer. The more he drinks, the better he dances. One

time he danced right into the pool."

--Lilly, 7 years old

"I don't like beer very much. Every time Dad drinks it, he burns

the sausages on the barbecue and they taste disgusting."

--Ethan, 7 years old

"I give Dad's beer to the dog and he goes to sleep. "

--Shirley, 7 years old

"My Mom drinks beer and she says silly things and picks on my

father. Whenever she drinks beer she yells at Dad and tells him

to go bury his bone down the street again, but that doesn't make

any sense."

--Jack, 7 years old
