I'm still innocent, I promise!

The other day my husband and I went out to lunch with his family at an Olive Garden. It was mostly just the adults who went (the ones that live here anyway). We were celebrating MaryAnn's birthday. (John's 4th oldest sibling) We had a great time eating great food! Now, I'm the type of person who likes to order fancy and/or fruity drinks! Smoothies, Lemonades, Italian Sodas, anything other than boring water or boring regular soda. Well, without really reading the description of this one particular peach smoothie thing, I ordered it! (You may have noticed from a previous post that I can be a very naive person...) So, it arrives and looks really tasty! I put the straw down in anticipating the deliciousness. Well, one sip and zing! Hmm.. that has a different taste. Fearing what that could mean, I quickly force my husband to try it to tell me I'm crazy and that it really doesn't have any alcohol in it. Honestly I have never ever in my life had alcohol. (other than nyquil) I'm a member of the LDS church and was raised knowing alcohol is addictive and dangerous so stay away! Meanwhile, my throat feels like its slightly burning.. Well, he noticed the difference and pulled out the menu to read it more carefully. Whoops! I made a mistake. I felt really guilty about it too. Usually when I order a drink like that they ask if I want it virgin or not. Since they didn't this time, I assumed the most correct way for things to happen, again believing nothing of it. I feel like I haven't broken my clean record, since it wasn't deliberate...
Well, there you have it. Sorry Mom! It was an accident...even though all accidents could have been prevented right? Well those of you who are reading this who drink alcohol like its no big thang, you probably think I'm crazy. And you are probably a little bit right! It's a good think I don't drink cause I think I'd be a drunk! I just love those fun drinks and hey, it tasted good!! But...I think I'd rather just have a lot of sugar!
