I was going to amuse myself by adding a Parenting 101 with Dean Winchester caption, but then I started thinking about the early eighties when Sam would have been a baby. It was fairly routine advice given to new mothers: rub a little whiskey on the gums for teething. Hell, the FDA didn’t ban the use of alcohol in teething remedies until more than ten years later. And now I’m wondering if Dean did this for Sam when he was teething, after Mary died, and that’s how he knows it works (there was probably a lot of whiskey around after that, honestly). And so I went from amused about Dean giving Bobby John whiskey to being sad about the beginnings of Dean’s lost childhood. {6.02}
