Have a drink!

I do have this habit wanting to eat or drink anything that's around. Hey I'm curious by nature & I love food. I've tried to get a taste of tea when Mom & Dad have their afternoon cup on the weekends but they are too fast for me. But sometimes Dad lets me take a sip. The daughter, when she's visiting, lets me drink some of her orange juice. Mmmm tastes good. She knows I somehow can't be bothered to eat an orange. Too much work to get the juice out of the pulp.

About a month ago, it was the daughter's birthday & since she was visiting with her husband she wanted to have a party. There were a lot of people around. Some I've met before & some entirely new. Of course I was let out to join & mingle around. I was on my best behaviour. Then I had something to drink. I don't know what it was but it gave me a warm fuzzy feeling. Then came on the buzz. I am not sure how long it lasted but it seemed funny to everyone. All I could think was: Hey what kind of drink is this & who spiked it???

Apparently, it was whiskey. All I had was a couple of drops. Sheesh! I didn't know it could have that effect on me. Whiskey is now on my list of things to look out for to drink when someone's got a glass in their hand. But oh the daughter was mad at Dad after everyone left, saying that I should not be given alcohol. Then Mom piped in too! Something about it not being good for me & something about wanting me to live to my full potential of 40+ years & if I am given all this junk my lifespan is going to be a lot shorter. It's ok Mom & daughter, it's cool. I won't turn into an alcoholic. I promise! But a bird's gotta live a little on the wild side right? Besides don't they say a little alcohol is good for the tummy, it kills all the worms.
