Marron, I will let you in on a little secret your father committed a

taking you on the flightline in a launch truck. He and his buddies

Everyone seems to think this, but it's not true. Parents can give
their minor children alcohol legally. Maybe not everywhere in the US,
but in a fairly large part of it.

In California it is legal for a parent to give alcohol to their minor
children. I consider it to be a good idea, as children of non-drinking
parents are statistically the most likely to be victims of alcohol poisoning
in college.
