An alert, concerned and anonymous “06880” reader reports that a father and 13-year-old daughter visited a popular local restaurant.
Waiting at the bar for their table, the father ordered a beer. The girl asked for a Coke.
The father drank his beer. The girl took one sip of her soda, and spat it out.
It was a rum and Coke.
An honest mistake? An assumption by the bartender that Westport fathers buy drinks for their young daughters?
Moral of the story: Seventh graders, if you’re in a restaurant, be sure to say, “Hold the rum.”

It’s time for the police to conduct their too rare underage alcohol sting.
I was served an uninvited mixed drink at Idlewild Airport when I was 13. The waitress was very reluctant to take it back. Mistakes like this have gone on forever.
