Wait till I grow up!

Hallo! My name is Neil.
And my eighteenth birthday is coming up.
Do you even know
what that means?

It means I can drink.
Legally. I can walk into a pub
And order anything I want
and they have to give it to me.

if they ask for an id, I can flash mine.
'Coz I'll be eighteen then! Eighteen!
I can drink what Dad drinks
Or Mom. I can drink what uncle drinks.
Or aunt.
I can drink with them, I'll be eighteen!

Here we are!

I'm eighteen.
We're at the pub, Mom, Dad, aunt, uncle and I.
They're laughing -- amused at me
But I don't care. I'm eighteen.
I can drink!

We order.
"Is the young man of age?"
We nod, all of us in unison.
I flash my id.

He shakes his head.
"No," he says, regretfully.

None of us noticed the notice.
Now, I'm bored by the board.
