The Talk

I was just reading Missy's post about having "the talk" with her 11 year old daughter regarding sex. While I have a while before having that kind of talk with Max I'm wondering if I need to have a talk of another kind. For the past week or so, everytime Max wakes up he asks, "Where's my daddy?" I reply, "He's at work." Max then asks, "Daddy go get beer?" Finally today I told Rob about it and jokingly asked him what he's doing while I'm at work. Today I was backing out of the drive way and had my window down. Max yelled and asked me where I was going. I told him I had to go to work. What does he say? "Mommy, you go get beer?" What the heck? Where is this coming from? So, while at work I called home to talk to Rob and Max and Rob said that he gave Max some water to drink for dinner and Max takes a drink and says, "Yummy, good beer." I don't know if Max has ever seen me drink a beer and Rob will have a couple after work sometimes but seriously, this makes me feel like a really bad parent! This isn't a new thing either... A couple of months ago we were at a clothing store and it had a little play area for kids. Max found this little kitchen area and was playing. WHile I was at the check out line Max came running up to me with this brown plastic toy bottle and says, "Mommy, this is Max's beer!" They just know how to embarras you, don't they!
