Chapter 11

-Lesson # 14, always remember to...

Jack stopped in his tracks, interrupting Katie.

-Katie, I think I've got it now.

-Are you sure?

-Yah.

-Ok.

She pulled a piece of paper out of her pocket and ripped it in two.

-Here's half the list.

-When did you make a list?

-In the car.

-Oh.

-Pick out a cart, get the stuff and meet me in aisle 10 in 15 minutes.

-Ok.

10 minutes later they rendezvoused in aisle 10.

Katie grinned at Jack.

-That was fast.

-Beginners luck.

He started to put the items in his cart into hers. Suddenly, he stopped and pointed to the beer sitting in the rack.

-Katie, what's that?

-Beer.

-I know that! What's it doing in the cart?!?

-You're out.

Jack glared at Katie.

-Kiddo, you're only 17.

-You were only 14 when you started drinking.

-Yes, but that was diff...how did you know that?!?

-Do you want to know what else I know about your teenage years?

He gulped and sighed.

-No, I guess not. Underage drinking was the least of my felonies and m misdemeanors as a teenager. I guess I can live with you drinking, but don't follow completely in your father's footsteps huh?

-I won't.

-Good. Let's go kiddo, I need a drink.

Katie laughed.

-Not before supper.

Jack groaned.

-Don't worry; I'll do all the cooking.

-Ok.

They checked out and left, arm in arm, chatting about everything but the weather.

Author's Note: Don't think that I condone underage drinking or anything, the only reason I put that in here is because Katie is her father's daughter if you know what I mean. I hope you enjoyed my latest installment!!!
