Sam: Mom, can we have wine with our lunch
Mom: Ummm, no
Sam: Ok
pause while mom tries to figure out if this is a teaching moment or not
Mom: So, how do you know about wine? Were you talking about wine at school with your friends?
Sam: No, it was in the scriptures
slightly panicked mom tries to figure out where in the scriptures we were reading about wine.
Mom finally says something about the wine in the scriptures really meant grape juice which yes, I know is not true but will do for an explanation for a 5 year old. Later I realized that we read about King Noah being a wine bibber a few weeks ago which would have been a good story to review to talk about NOT drinking wine. By then the moment had passed. Alas
