Tonight was really nice. Will and I took my dad out for a delicious sushi dinner. Beforehand when he met us here I gave him a bottle of Mel's mead. Now for those of you that don't know... Mel's mead has a number of nicknames... two of the important ones being "honey moonshine" and "Honey I Shrunk Your Tolerance". Dad sips it, goes "oh wow, that's delicious!" and drinks the whole bottle like it's nothing.
A couple of minutes later he has his eyebrows raised and eyes wide and blinking. "Wow," he says. "That was one of the best things I've ever tasted... and it... it is strong."
I had a good laugh about this, texted Mel to tell her about that, good times.
Then at dinner dad was still fuzzy at best and every time he fumbled or got confused he was like "must be the mead"... it became the running joke of the evening with us blaming the silliest stuff on the mead.
By the end of the (extremely tasty) dinner dad was pretty much all sobered up.
Good times.
BTW it was funny that every time the waitress brought out new sushi both dad and Will went for their phones to take photos... lol
