Last week my son was reading a list of words in one of his readers. One of the words was “keg.” He asked what a keg was. I was trying to figure out the best way to describe it and so I said it was like a a big container with a spout that you could get a drink from.
“Oh,” he said with a look of recognition. “I know what your talking about, like what we get lemonade from at church.” That’s what I get for trying to be vague instead of just going out and saying it was for beer.
Whoever put the word keg in a kindergartner reader is the one I will hold responsible when my child shows up at church asking for a keg.

I just love him!!! He makes me laugh
Lemonade – in a keg – at church – who would have thought!!!
So if they have a church gathering where there are several of those can we call it a “keger?”
I know what you mean. Sometimes I kick myself later for not just being blunt to begin with.
Um, yeah…whose idea was THAT?!?
Well played though!
I am forming a list of words to avoid in K readers. The top one in our house right now is ditch. Innocent enough, unless you have children like mine who reverse the d and b until about halfway through 1st grade!
That was SO much like trying to figure out how to explain a gun! That’s awesome! I would LOVE to see your son at church asking for the keg of lemonade!
I think maybe more people would come to church if we spread the rumor that there were kegs at church
LOL! Love that one.
The comments made about your belly in the other post made me laugh too. I can SO relate
