wine for babies and bees

Unfortunately, Or succah does not have a screen, so bees were able to get in pretty easily. Also unfortunately, they were addicted to wine. We had over that day, Mrs.B's friend and her baby boy. During kiddish, when Pyschotoddler was drinking the wine from the bachar, baby boy asked his mother

"Mommy, I'm thirsty what can I drink?"
" You want some water honey?"
"No, I want wine in my sippy"


Wine. Wine in the sippy cup. Was this little boy expecting to get drunk? Once the wine came out, the bees came in. Apparently, they wanted some wine too. How they planned to drink it, I don't know. But I suppose there's an explanation, seeing as it's sweet. That doesn't explain why the baby wanted wine though. Do they know something we don't? Are there other babies and hives who have huge stocks of wine and grape juice? They said in the paper that the honey bees had disappeared for a short time and now we know why! They were refilling their Joyvin boxes! Whatever you do, don't put any kind of wine in you succah! (unless you're a bee keeper)

Bist a gornisht helfen--that's no help: They probably like grape juice just as much. Hope you enjoyed the sukkah anyway.

Wine for a child young enough to be using a sippy cup?! What, the kid's too young to read the recent warning from the Orthodox Union not to give alcoholic beverages to children?

This is what I was talking about! Those babies know something we don't! We need to evacuate!
