Today, my doctor asked me how often I drink, and I responded, "Socially." My three-year-old piped up, "No Mom, you drink all the time." My doctor now thinks I'm a raging alcoholic. My kid has never seen me drink. FML

OP here. Some of these comments crack me up, but thank you for the chuckle. My daughter is the light of my life and truly has a sense of humor and intelligence beyond her short 3 years. I appreciate the support of most and I am happy to have this to share with her as she gets older.

A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Your kid probably thought the doctor meant a normal drink, not alcohol lol. FYL. Xx

I would have said no sweetie, drink alcohol, not water, juice, coffee and soda. That would have settled both their minds.

"Honey, he means alcohol" should clear that right up

I personally wouldn't want to tell my three-year-old about alcohol.

Your kid was thinking of drinking in general, he probably doesn't even know what alcohol is yet I suppose. You could just reply to him that the doctor means drinking a special kind of drinks only meant for adults, it's an easy enough situation to manoeuvre

There are so many buzz kills in this post. If my 3 year old daughter said that I would play into it. Who cares what the doctor knows? He can't tell anybody :P

Your doctor makes treatment decisions based on your history. Drinking a lot can change the way your body uses certain medications, and absorbs certain vitamins and minerals. So, if your doctor thinks you're a heavy drinker, they may put you on different medications, and it can even get you kept off a transplant list should that ever become necessary.

Your 3-year-old probably wouldn't know that by 'drink' your doctor meant alcohol.
