My mom knows

[Zwitter]

So I was chilling with my mom this one time, and she's a really strange woman. She has this thing with those ceramic geese that you dress up for the seasons.

Anyway, it used to be a running gag with my friends that they'd steal it and return it a few days later in a different outfit...once it came back in a black hooded cape with eyeliner and a roach glued to its beak...

One day, the goose completely disappeared. Weeks passed and it never came back. Apparently my friend Curtis shot its head off with a B.B. gun and found it had a hollow neck and turned it into a bong. The head became his hood ornament.

Fast-foreward three years later. I'm having a drink with my mom and she goes, "So Kristie, whatever happened to my porch goose?"

I solemnly rise and get the envelope containing the pictures of the goosebong.

"Is that...oh my god, is that a BONG?"
"Yes, yes it is"

She said she'd never been prouder of me in my entire life and showed me her pipe. Then we smoked a bowl.

Like mother, like daughter...

[stonerman07]

lucky motherfucker. i know my mom smokes, and my dad, but they both deny it, even though they always have lighters, febreeze, eyedrops etc..., and when they find my roach stash they sold ma dirtbike.

[Juggalo k00kie]

lmao... wow, that's great, my mom used to smoke with me =/

[MisterGreen]

haha a fuckin goose hahahaha

[ufo_man]

Yeah over the years ive had friends who had parents that smoked with them. They have a diffrent kind of relationship. Its not uncommon, especially here in the U.S. I don't see anything wrong with it, I just would never do that with my parents, or with my future child. Far out story by the way, turning that goose into a bong! :thumbsup:

[GonzoForever]

HA NICE!

[Frivolous248]

Sounds pretty neat. Haha, never been prouder 'cause her daughter smokes.

[YouAintKnow]

haha that is awesome.

[jaGerbom]

lol thats cool as hell. you're damn lucky. I'll be toking up in my living room with my dad if i get straight A's next year hahah(made a deal). Not gonna happen :(. My parents dont smoke btw.

[Storm Crow]

jaGerbom, Why isn't it going to happen? Do you have so little faith in yourself, that you honestly believe that you can not get straight "A"s? Here's what you do to get those grades up (are the rest of you listening?).

1) Get a tape recorder. Read your text books into it and play it back several times. You will learn the lesson.

2) Type out your notes. Retyping grinds the notes into your brain.

3) Study in a group! The feedback from fellow students sticks in your mind (usually more than what the teacher said in class!). They did a study on this and kids who worked in groups got better grades.

4) I had a lot of luck writing my papers stoned and cleaning them up straight. Math (for me) was a disaster when I was stoned, however.

5) NEVER put off an assignment! Git 'er done, NOW! When I started my term papers a couple of weeks into class, the other students thought I was crazy! My term paper was done well before finals. I had time to study for the finals, while the other students were going crazy trying to do a term paper AND study for finals. (I graduated with honors, incidentally.) A few individuals work best under pressure, but to be honest, most of us do worse under pressure. Get started early and finish early!

6) Use a reward system. "I won't play my Xbox/get stoned/ have a cookie until I finish this assignment.

Have fun toking with your Dad next semester! :thumbsup: - Granny:hippy:

[jaGerbom]

maybe i will get straight A's...thanks for the advice granny:)

[jaGerbom]

How I wish I could rep you..

lol...i tried to rep her as well...got denied.

[Storm Crow]

LOL I love you kids, too! :giveflower:And you CAN do it! I work as a teacher's aide/tutor. And I'm a darn good one, too! It is a rare student who cannot get their grade up to at least a "B"! I'm betting you can get those "A"s!

Another thing you can do, if you are creative, is to take a tune you know well and set new words to it- the facts you need to learn. I can still recite Poe's poem "El Dorado" that I learned in the 60s! I set it to some music and sang it through over and over. Remembering a song uses a different part of your brain than learning nonmusical stuff. So basically, you have it "written" in two places in your memory, making it more likely that you will be able to remember the facts.

As a tutor, one third of my job is getting kids to believe in themselves. The other thirds are- teaching kids how to study (tricks and tips), and the actual teaching of the facts and formulas. Most of you are just lacking the "tools" you need to learn- you're not stupid, you just don't know how to learn! And HOW to learn is not something most schools teach! I just gave you a few tricks that work for a lot of people. You DO have to work, though. Facts don't just jump into your head, you have to put them there. Very few of the kids I've tutored have remained stuck in their low grades. :thumbsup:

[The Hippie]

Wow I wish my parents were as cool as yours. My parents smoke it, and are cool with me knowing. But if they ever caught me they would freak out because they said many times they never wanted me doing them.
