Jello shot

Okay kiddo, so you know what jello is right? It's a yummy wiggly dessert that we eat. Well, some grown-ups like to make something called jello shots.

What they do is they make jello just like you normally would, but instead of putting it in a bowl and eating it, they mix in some alcohol like vodka or rum.

Then, they pour the mixture into little cups or molds and let it chill in the fridge until it turns solid. It's still wiggly like regular jello, but when you eat it, you also get a little bit of alcohol too.

But remember, jello shots are only for adults because they have alcohol in them, and only grown-ups should drink alcohol. Does that make sense?
