Aunt Judi's Weed

The other evening Owen told me that he had cleaned out the cupboard above the pantry because he was bored. It's where we keep cleaning supplies and various odds and ends. He said he'd found some catnip and that Hattie and Bob LOVED it. Then he said casually, "at first when I found it I thought it was Aunt Judi's weed." I about choked and just stared at him (this happens a lot). He said, "oh don't worry, it was just the catnip." I sputtered a bit and then Ernie said, "I don't think we have that anymore Owen" and Owen just nodded and went on talking.

I swear to GOD I never know what is going to come out of that child. When Judi was going through chemo she had a really, really brutal time with it and she did find that a little bit of pot helped ease the nausea and just took the edge off of feeling so terrible. I guess we had talked about that with Owen...about people using marijuana medicinally etc....but I don't think we EVER referred to it as weed.

Good lord. Of course he's almost 11 and God only know what he hears and sees at school.  

But really....Aunt Judi's weed?

Judi would be helpless with laughter right now....
