Normal Beer

We are sitting around the table, the boys are eating ice cream post-dinner.

"We need root beer!" shrieks Vinny. "If we had root beer we could make root beer floats!"

"Do you even like root beer?" I ask, knowing his historic distaste for soda of any kind.

"Yeah, I like it," answers Vinny. "Er, wait, I've never tried it."

"What about you, Gio, have you ever tried root beer?" I ask innocently.

"Well," he says holding up his hands, "I've tried normal beer."
