techkid:
Maybe he's an easy drunk?
Personally, I would rather my teenager (should I ever dare to have a kid at all) to learn the safe usage of a blowtorch or knife sharpening, than the responsible service of alcohol. Or to put it another way: What's more responsible, teaching your kid to safely handle tools, heat and sharp objects, or how to pour a drink?
Jabberwocky:
I love how Faye is completely unfazed by Jim's (over)reaction.

Nope, a responsible parent ensures that the offspring can do it all.
Safely use knives and axes - check
Properly pour a beer for Dad - check
Ride bike, sans training wheels - check (for 2 out of three ATM)
Know what the effects of alcohol are, etc. - check
Able to think for self - Still working on that one.
JRDelirio:
@ Jabberwocky: She has seen intense reactions before.
And I dunno about the blowtorch (at least she did not let Sam handle the arc welder) but 12-nearly-13 sounds fine for learning how to properly sharpen a knife.
And the cocktail's a sort of easy gag. But apparently they pour one damn fine Old Fashioned... I still get the feeling that Faye is not going to get recruited by Big Sisters any time soon :-D
rcs:
I was remarking on the different points of view - Sam was excited that she was learning new things. Jim thought she was just playing around. Is that a father-daughter thing? Or an older generational thing? Or just me? I guess I resonated to it oddly.
Actually, learning the responsible use of alcohol is probably a good thing. But I don't think Faye is a good role model for that lesson.
