The Innocence of Youth

Someone told me a hilarious story today. Seems a fairly young man with high blood pressure was told by his doctor that he should have a glass of red wine daily.

"Just have a small glass in the evening before bed. It should help with your blood pressure issues," his doctor said.

So, each evening he would drink his "prescribed" glass of wine. His toddler, after hearing the story repeated to various friends and family members, began referring to the wine as "Daddy's medicine".

"Daddy, you left your medicine glass in the living room last night," he would announce in the mornings.

This was all very innocent until they were in church one morning and the toddler noticed, for the first time, the Communion Wine.

In the loud, piercing voice that every parent hears in their nightmares, and at the quietest moment in the Worship Service, the child blurted out,

"Look, Daddy! They use the same medicine as YOU!"
