When my first kid was around two years old or so, a friend was over to visit one day. I asked my daughter to go get me a bottle of beer out of the refrigerator. I had never done that before, but it worked beautifully. My friend was impressed or maybe shocked, and my kid was happy to please me. And I got a beer.
