Coffee is not a beverage that most kids drink.

If a tween asked you to buy them coffee, would you do it, or would you double check with their parents first?

This woman was watching an 11-year-old girl who asked for some coffee.

She decided to call the girl’s dad to check if that was okay, but now she’s wondering if that was the wrong thing to do.

Check out the full story below for more details.

AITA for not taking an 11 year old’s word for it?

My (20F) dad made some friends when he studied abroad.

One of them is on a visit to our country right now, and he brought his daughter (11F) with him.

This woman agreed to take the girl to the National Museum.

He asked if I could take her to our National Museum since it’s “good for kids to practice some art appreciation.”

I said “Sure!”

She wasn’t very enthusiastic about it though.

The girl asked her to buy her some coffee.

We were waiting for the opening time.

She pointed at a nearby cafe and asked if I could buy her a cup of coffee.

She said it’s the least I could do because I’m making her spend two hours looking at some boring stuff.

She called the dad to confirm if the girl could have a cup.

I hesitated.

And she said her dad lets her drink latte.

So, I called him just to check.

He said yes, before asking, “Did you think my daughter is a liar?”

She was speechless at her dad’s reaction.

And I didn’t know what to say.

It didn’t occur to me that that was what I was insinuating. I was just expressing my doubt.

I just wanted to be sure.

She ended up buying the girl a cup of coffee.

I ended up buying her oat milk latte before taking her on a tour.

I don’t know if I was too anxious, but when I took her back to the hotel, her dad seemed kind of frosty towards me.

Most kids don’t drink coffee. It was right to verify this was okay.

Let’s see what others have to say about this on Reddit.

She sucks, says this person.

Finally, people are siding with her, saying she did the right thing.

It is always better to be safe than sorry.
