Hey Look! A Gray Hair!
Jessica (6 years old): Is pot illegal?
Me (in my head): DOH!
Me: Yes. It's illegal.
Jessica: What is pot?
Me: It is a plant that people dry up and smoke like a cigarette.
Jessica: Is it sometimes called weed?
Me (in my head): Wha the fuuuu???
Me: Yeah.
Jessica: Is it a poison weed?
Me: Yes. It's poison.
Jessica: Does Nana have any of the poison weed?
Me (in my head): Whaaa? LMAO.
Me: Uh, you know. I don't know.
Jessica: Why aren't cigarettes illegal?
Me: Because tobacco isn't illegal and too many people make too much money off of it.
Me (again): Where are you getting these questions from?
Me (in my head): And why am I getting the munchies?
Jessica: NEVERMIND!
I turns out she has seen commercials about "It's never to early to talk to your child about drugs". I will remain calm and openminded about questions that pop up.
SAME DAY
Jacob (5 years old): What does illegal mean?
Me: It means if you do something that is against the law then you go to jail.
Me (in my head): Why not just cut to the chase with the kid.
Jacob: I want Brendon to do something illegal so he goes to jail. And then he'll have to work in a restaurant.
Brendon (8 years old) (Laughs): That would be so cool to work in a restaurant!
Me: What!? No it wouldn't!
Me (in my head): DOH!
Me: Yes. It's illegal.
Jessica: What is pot?
Me: It is a plant that people dry up and smoke like a cigarette.
Jessica: Is it sometimes called weed?

Ha ha!! How did he associate working in a restaurant with prison ??? LMAO!
That's too funny ....
I haven't been asked what weed is yet - but I have been asked if I've smoked cigarettes before *sigh*. Can't wait until I get asked if I've tried pot .... *which I haven't ... ever ... really ... honest .... ahem ...*

Well I just learned one thing - trying to read and type the word verification requirement to post a reply is very difficult after having smoked weed.
Just kidding...boy kids are hilarious - I can totally see the two sides of what you said outside versus what you were thinking inside ('what the fuuuuuuu') LOL

Favorite line?
"Does Nana have any of the poison weed?"
I don't know why, but that cracks me up.
