Hittin' the Hard Stuff

Jared answered a call from the school today. Apparently John brought an empty bottle of vodka into class this morning. When confronted he said that yes, it was his and, yes, he did drink it. I guess the teacher freaked out a little.

Jared explained that we don't have vodka at home and that he was 100% certain that John did NOT ingest anything close to it.

When Jared finished his conversation with the teacher he came and told me. Of course I knew exactly what it was about.

Yesterday on the walk home from school John found a small EMPTY bottle of vodka in the gutter. It was the tiny bottle kind that you get on a plane trip or from the minibar in your hotel room. I told him to throw it away, but he insisted that he wanted it to add to his "poison" bottle collection for his Halloween decorations. After a few minutes I had forgotten about the bottle and he had placed it in his backpack.

I asked him about the incident this evening.

"It was in my backpack so I got it out with everything else."

"What did you do with it?"

"I put it on my desk of course. And I am still mad because they never gave it back."

That is SO funny Alyssa!!! Whatever .. you totally know it's a bottle from your 'collection'. Can you bring me one tonight as we work?

I think you should call the school and demand the Vodka back. After all, it is personal property! And BTW isn't the VODKA on the front sign enough that it's POISON?
