Pot Plant

My mother stood outside inspecting what little of our garden that actually grows – with no silver bells or cockle shells, and absolutely no pretty maids all in a row – when she found an intruder. I was busy loading the washing machine and wasn’t too bothered with it all.

“What is that?”

“A plant” I replied.

“What type of plant?”

“A green one that grows in soil.”

“No, is it a weed or a tomato bush? Maybe it’s… A drug plant.”

I stopped what I was doing, took a quick glance at the ‘drug plant’ in question and laughed.

“It’s not pot, Mum.”

“How do you know?”

“You sent me to a public high school.”

    If pot would grow like weed –everywhere–, I wonder what will happen.

  3. Funny… I especially like that AdSense is showing an ad from eBay for “Pot seeds”! What doesn’t eBay sell?? I wonder what you’d get for blogging about something really bizarre like replacement kidneys or spray-painted dogs.

    Jazarus, when I wrote this I knew someone, sometime, somewhere, would make that assumption. Even though I said, “I stopped what I was doing, took a quick glance at the ‘drug plant’ in question and laughed” not “I stopped what I was doing, broke out my bong in anticipation, took a quick glance at the ‘drug plant’ in question and was saddened that it wasn’t my beloved cannabis.” Congratulations on being that someone.

    This is hilarious. Nicely done. People in the office are trying to figure out what I’m laughing about.
