He handed his mother a bottle of water. "If this is Smart Water, how did it get trapped in a bottle."
I'm worried he's going to be as much of a smart ass as I am.

How old is he? Sounds like middle school, where everyone is a smart ass.

14. It started in middle school, but it's been getting worse since he started HS.
One day at work I was telling a slacker to get hustling.
"Wuh?I work hard!"
"Nate, if I worked as hard as you do, I could go home well rested."
My old man's words coming out of my mouth. Your son is doomed.
In reply to Toyman01 :
I had pretty much the same thought about smart water the other day. Have you considered therapy?
You say that like it is a bad thing. If learns to use it for good instead of evil he can use it as an advantage.
My oldest daughter picked up how to be a smart a$$ from me. She uses it to her advantage working with a bunch of retired or former military guys. (I'm also a retired military guy and she is very much an army brat.) She holds her own against them and shuts them down regularly which in turn has earned their respect. They've helped her career out moving up. Won't be too long till she outranks dad as a civil service.
I'm not truly worried about him. A smart mouth goes with an agile brain. I just have a hard time keeping a straight face when he spouts off that stuff.

That splains it.
I think your son and my son would like each other. 
Be happy if he surrounds himself with quick peers. Nothing more disappointing than dull teenagers.
there are a few smartarses in my department, There are also a couple of dullarses. I am thankful to include myself in the smartarse category as they are a lot more fun to be around.
I bought one of those “smart water” bottles and promptly proved I wasn’t when I couldn’t figure out how to open it. I had to YouTube it; of course, since there were videos it wasn’t just me right?
