Being high in front of your parents is like trying to do a perfect impression of yourself.

Same story different late night snack. For me it was one of the first times ever getting high. I had no idea it would hit me as hard as it did. I remember walking in to my parents house and trying to sneak my way into the basement to zone out. My dad was making popcorn in the microwave at that exact moment, maybe around 1am. All he said was: “hey, do you want some?” And I immediately started babbling about all the reasons I couldn’t eat popcorn at that moment and detailing every meal and snack that day. At one point I was running out of things to say so I started telling him about how popcorn is made (based on extremely limited information as a 17 year old who worked in a movie theatre at the time). All I remember beyond that is him just staring at me, and eventually just grinning at me once he realized what was going on. Eventually I escaped to the basement and watched movies until I sobered up. We never talked about it again.
