Children Are Gross

The winery where I work has a "junior internship" program where the children of the owner come and get paid to distract us from work and get shown around. The other day, I was inside an open tank I was washing with the owner's 13 year-old boy. One of the mexicans who works with me came over to talk about beer and we were discussing our love for Budweiser. The 13 year-old started proclaiming his love for Coors and I said I definitely prefer Bud. Then, Jorge walked away and the 13 year-old looked up at be in disbelief (he's only about 4'6") and said, "You don't like Coooors?"

I asked him if he even drinks and he said "Yeah. At parties."

Because I was afraid he was going to ask me to buy him beer, and I would say no and be deemed uncool, I changed the subject.

"So, do you have a girlfriend?"

He smiled.

"Do you?"

"Well, the question is ONE girlfriend..."

"Oh? You have multiple girlfriends?"

"I prefer the term 'hook up buddy' or 'friends with benefits.'"

Pure horror. EWWWWW. This child is my sister's age.

  1. Wow, the only "kid" I've worked with at Jordan was the winemaker's daughter. She was 24 and we worked together in the vineyard before she went off to grad school a few weeks ago. I thought it was going to be a little awkward until I found out she's entering a PhD program in Linguistics - I also have a degree in Linguistics. Small world.

    All quiet here at Jordan. I just started safety training this week and it will continue for a while. I won't even start cluster sampling for another few weeks...
