wine

yes. that's wine. in a plastic monkey cup. with ice cubes.

i don't drink. well. there are special occasions where i'll have a sip or two - such as a wedding, an anniversary, a reunion. and then there was the one time when my rv broke down in the foothills of tennessee and it took 12 hours for the right tow truck to come and i had a sip or two or 500. but i digress.

so when my aunt and uncle came to visit a month ago, with wine bottle in hand, what was i to do? i ran to the store to get a cork remover thing. and then pulled out my best monkey cups. i then added a kagillion ice cubes to dilute the alcohol - for fear that adding straight water would make my uncle pass out completely.

what can i say? i'm the classiest mom in town. cheers.

Wendi, you are just like my Mom! I LOVE red wine but when I visit and bring a bottle she pulls out a coffee cup and the ice (which is okay... more for me!)

That's too funny. I can understand though, I worked for a wine company and still didn't own wine glasses. Just not my thing!

What? You mean people actually don't drink wine out of monkey cups. Pshhhaww...they don't know what they're missing.

The only thing better than wine in monkey cups...is of course. Bacon. And I would cook for you any day. Always with bacon.

Your "best monkey cups," I *love* it! As a wine drinker I can understand your uncle's equilibrium ... But I sooooo appreciate your spirit and humor!

Great post!
