OUT OF THE MOUTH OF BABES

Typically, that adage references something out of the mouth of a young child.  However, in my case, I am referring to my two daughters whose ages just commence the 20s.  Just prior to celebrating the New Year with our annual 'linner' party [meal served between lunch and dinner], my two daughters and I were in the kitchen preparing for our guests; a small group this year of 14. The discussion went completely ary in a very obscure direction.

Before beginning, let me just say that in no way whatsoever do I do drugs or encourage the use of drugs.

Our conversation commenced with the odd inquiry.... "Mom, if you had the chance to hang out with Barbara Streisand, but you had to do shrooms, would you?"  Yes, I did respond to that.  No idea as to why, but I did.  "No way; not even for Babs."  

The girls had returned from their New Years' Eve festivities just shortly before.  One of which still had a bit of vodka racing through her veins along with the giggles and an advancing headache.  Hello hangover.

Anyway, the conversation escalated into our making a list of whom we would do what drug with from the past.  The following is what we came up with?

John Lennon        -   mushrooms

Bob Marley           -   weed

Jimmy  Hendrix    -   acid

Jim Morrison        -   heroin 

Not that we would ever do any of the aforementioned substances, but simply stating who we would party and with which appropriate poison.  

Of course, we took it a step further when daughter #1 included:

Betty White        -   weed

Seth Rogen         -   mushrooms

It's hard to believe and imagine that our conversations have surpassed the simple light-heartedness concerning their friends, boyfriends, schoolwork to now hardcore silliness.  Albeit, in a light-hearted manner, but still ridiculous and absurd.  Except, the thought of smoking pot with Betty White is kind of amusing. 

side note:  IF anyone is reading please forgive as it was simple banter with the kids. I thought it was funny.
