I haven't had a drink of alcohol in almost 4 years. I never had any substance abuse issues, and I have no health-related reasons. It just kinda happened because I realized one day that I never really liked it, so I just stopped. When I try to explain this to anyone, they look at me like I'm the weirdest thing they've…

I would hesitate before assuming the parents are racist just because the 3-year-old acts weird. She's 3.
