No way to start a conversation

So last night we're watching one of the Star Wars films and Calvin turns to me and says, "Dad, you need to drink less beer." (I was drinking one at the time.)

A bit taken aback, I said, "Why? Am I a bad dad when I drink beer?"

"No, but it fills up the recycling with bottles and then it's heavy."

NB 1. We have the boys take our recycling down to the recycling collection point.
NB 2. The recycling collection point is about 25 feet away from our house now.
NB 3. For the record, I drank exactly two beers this weekend.

So maybe it's Mom who's filling up the recycle bin with beer bottles.

I'm kidding. I know she perfers Scotch.
