drink anyone?

the strangest thing is happening. im sitting in my house with my parents and we're all drinking!! the only reason they usually offer me alcohol is when we're celebrating and one of two things will usually happen. 1) ill politely decline and say ill drink another time - or 2) ill get down right steaming drunk.
Option 2 is normally picked when there is a lot of company and i can blend in and everyones friends can make my family calm down by saying things like 'hes fine, hes just enjoying himself, calm down' to which the situation will calm down, ill get more drunk and no one will be any the wiser. Besides, its not that often that i get drunk anyways and if i do i am sensible about it.

Tonight however mum and dad were having wine or champagne, I asked if i could have some before remembering the cider that was in the fridge. I perked up saying 'or i could have the cider. dad brought through a small glass and I thought he only expected me to have a small glass all together but when i said that now i'd have to refill he quite genuinely said he'd leave me the bottle. a rather big bottle at that.

This is very unlike my parents. Its like all these stories you hear of parents giving the first drink to their kids while they're in their parents' company. I dont know if this is a 'your still our baby - drink sensibly' thing or maybe a 'your a man now' thing. either way i dont know whether to be amused or uncomfortable. We're also watching the tennis however..... this is uncomfortable, ive decided that after snooker, its the most boring sport to watch ever!!




and an extra point: ive added someone new to my blogroll, feel free to check out his blog out from there im sure you'll find his many other blogs he has running for photography etc : )
