Alcoholism

I moved back in with the parents for two months while i decide what to do with my future. Saturday night the whole family was in town and Robby Stone was hanging with us (checkout his blog here).

We were all in the kitchen just hanging out talking and watching videos on Katlin's computer which was placed on the kitchen table. Since I have moved back in we basically moved all my junk in house. That Junk included a fine bottle of Yellow Tail Merlot aged since 2006 retail $6.99USD at Target. My youngest brother comes across this bottle of wine and he's 19 years old. Everyone is busy doing their thing in the kitchen but I noticed Kory looking at the devils juice. He asks "who's is this? Where did we get it?" Everyone in the family pretty much knew it had to come from me.

Kory takes this a step further. I tell him just to pour the bottle out. My dad is staring him down and trying to ignore the situation at the same time. I'm just thinking oh great... here goes another preacher kid about to take to highway to hell.

Kory does... he crosses the line, he grabs a cup and once he did that everyone started watching/trying to act like they weren't watching.

Let me explain the weight of the situation. My lovely mother has this theory that if you take one sip of alcohol and like it you could possibly become addicted and possibly end up going to AA meetings for the rest of your life. So that first sip of alcohol is going to say a lot about the rest of your life.

He pours the cheap Target wine into the glass and says, while everyone is looking at him, "It's supposed to be good for your heart right?" then tilts the glass back and takes a gulp.

*Silence**** (is he gonna be an alcoholic?? is he going to be too drunk to walk to his bedroom because he is now grounded?) *****Silence******

PSSHHHHHH HE spits out the wine everywhere and begins to wash his mouth out with water and juice, screaming "OH MY GOSH that is the NASTIEST thing i have ever tasted! How can that be good for your heart?!" We all begin laughing loudly and thankfully that little Kory will not be a homeless alcoholic.

It really was one of the funniest moments in Miller Family History.
