A mother has shared an amusing anecdote about her 14-year-old daughter covertly using vodka from the family’s pantry.

Stacey, who goes by @StaceyCKS on X, previously known as Twitter, posted about her experience when she noticed a decline in her vodka stash. She initially suspected her older children, aged 23 and 17.

“Noticed my vodka supply was dwindling,” she wrote on her account. “Confronted the 23 and 17-year-olds, who blamed the 14-year-old. She confessed to using it to make penne alla vodka ‘several times’ in the past month. I doubted her until I saw her prepare it perfectly. Is this a TikTok trend?”

The mother of three also mentioned tasting the pasta dish prepared by her daughter and being pleasantly surprised by its quality. “It’s really good, too. She nailed it,” she commented in her post.

However, with the post receiving over 16.9 million views, the mother then revealed that her daughter wanted to clarify one piece of information.

“She wants it known that she didn’t ‘guiltily confess’ to anything. ‘I just answered the question,’” another follow-up post read. “Sorrrrrry. My bad.”

Noticed that my vodka supply was dwindling. Confronted 23 and 17, who pointed the finger at 14, who guiltily confessed to making penne allá vodka “several times” over the last month. Didn’t believe her, watched her execute it flawlessly. I guess it’s a TikTok thing?

Stacey humorously noted that her daughter chose a more “luxurious” brand of vodka for her cooking, opting for Grey Goose over a less expensive Smirnoff that was also on hand. “She went for the Grey Goose, not the Smirnoff that someone had left, because ‘that one was already open.’ Sure, because it’s the GOOD stuff,” she commented.

The social media post sparked curiosity among followers, leading them to inquire how no one spotted her youngest preparing a pasta dish with alcohol. “Hold on? Your 14-year-old made a pasta meal and nobody realized? Was she cooking on a portable stove outside or does your house have a separate kitchen area?” questioned one user.

“I have three kids, and she’s the youngest,” Stacey responded. “They frequently prep snacks after school while I’m in my office. There’s always some cooking happening, and I only intervene if the smoke alarm rings.”

Another user expressed surprise asking, “Aren’t you amazed at how quickly the pasta ingredients disappeared?”

The mother explained that they use an app for grocery shopping, allowing her children to choose their necessities independently.

“We shop groceries online, and my kids pick what they require on the app. I typically just glance over the cart to ensure everything seems reasonable. Items like cream, cheese, or pasta wouldn’t catch my eye,” she noted.

Other users humorously speculated that the child might have used the bottles for other purposes, yet agreed it was a harmless situation. “This is the best possible outcome for this scenario,” a commenter remarked.

“She thought I would be upset about using all the San Marzano tomatoes,” the mother shared, “and she was right. I had other plans for those.”
