Drugs Are Not Cool...

This is D.A.R.E. week at the kids school, so Z has been running around chanting, "drugs are not cool!". I'm thinking maybe the program may need some changes, though...

Me: Z, do you know what drugs are?
Z: Not cool!
Me: Yes, drugs are not cool, but what are drugs?
Z: Bad things?
Me: What kind of "bad things"?
Z: I don't know. But I am totally turning my back on them!

Sigh...

So, did you enlighten him?

Rachel Olimb said...

LOL! I love your kids!

BusyMommy said...

I thought I had, but then today I asked him again what drugs were and he says,
"Bad things like medicine that a doctor didn't give you. You shouldn't take that unless it looks like candy."

I think we are going from bad to worse...

HonorMommy said...

LOL!!!

Much like Trick or Treat. 364 days a year we say don't talk to, or take candy from, strangers. Then we go to their houses and ask under threat of retaliation for candy... hmmm.

if he doesn't ever figure it out, you can send him to california. maybe he can legally get some marijuana there, and it would all be ok.

BusyMommy said...

He may be able to get medical marijuana, but he won't be able to get a happy meal toy anymore.

hobbitsister said...

well, that's good, because happy meals are the root cause of all the problems in this world.
