Toddler is convinced Mom's morning coffee is vodka

Many mothers might agree that they look forward to a glass of wine or vodka at the end of a long day.

A mother whose toddler blatantly accused her of having vodka at 7 am shared how adamant her son was that her morning coffee was vodka. 

Of course, kids have a way of trying to find reason, which sometimes means they can let out the things you would rather have them keep close to their chest. Their honesty makes them less than ideal poker players.

Surprisingly, the video ignited an interesting response from other mothers who shared their stories about their kids assuming that every drink they have is alcoholic. 

  • "I was shaking iced coffee and protein powder in a Shakeology mixer with ice, and my 16-year-old asked me, in the most horrified voice, "Are you having a martini at 8 am?" Me - "No, but good looking out. Because if you see that, call Betty Ford."
  • "I have one gin and tonic at home, and now every glass of water, my 5-year-old asks if it’s gin."
  • "We recently had the norovirus, and by some miracle, I got sick first (when is it ever the mom). We had been to dinner the night before, and I had wine. The following week, my friend's family also had the norovirus. My 6-year-old asked me why I had to drink wine and get everyone sick."
  • "As a child, my grandma always had a little glass of alcohol with her, and I always thought it was water."
