Rose couldn't help but chuckle at that. She may have been tiny, but she could be terrifying when she wanted to be. Especially when she hadn't had sleep. And while she was most certainly not a "single" mother, having Jimmy still in the picture, it sometimes felt a little bit like that. It was no one's fault, Jimmy needed to finish school, but Rose told Benjy a million times that he had work, and she didn't, therefore the screaming baby at 1, 4, and 6:30 AM was her responsibility. Even if dragging herself out of bed sometimes was the worst thing in the world, and on occasion she fell asleep nursing... Oops. That was a normal, mom thing to do, right?
"Oi, I'm not a barbie doll. I can handle my liquor, or at least, I could before I got pregnant. We'll see how this goes, right?" she laughed, taking another drink and finishing off the glass. Merlin, she hadn't felt that burn in a long while.
"You gonna just stare at yours?" She was being a bad influence and she knew it, but she'd cut them both off far before they were too drunk. After all, there was a baby in the house. One who had finally fallen asleep in her swing.
