Ian, Carrie, and myself went to subway last night. My mom called, and wanted to talk to me about what happened to pop on sunday. She asked "Do you know what causes an increase in appetite, hallucination, and paranoia?" I snorted. "Holy christ, mom! Dad's smoking pot now?! What a fuckin' stoner." A couple weeks ago the doctors gave him some medication to increase his appetite so that he eat more that five small bites a day. I know that marijuana is used for cancer patients to create an appetite, and mentally feel better; it was never stated until pop had his episode, and mom looked at the bottle. She told me that Tom laughed, and she said to me "But, you can't tease him like you normally do, because he doesn't know." Oh my god! Why not?! This is pure gold!
Walking last night, Tom and I talked about it. Yeah, pop is getting weaker, make no mistake, but his reaction to finding out that he's ingested marijuana would be awesome. We had a boondock saints moment. "You know we got to fuck with him. right? Yeah." See here's the story. It's not that dad would be mortifed on some moral level, but he has always hated hippies and anything associtated with hippies. When I was in high school, and had long hair, he would yell at me constantly.
So of course plans are set to buy him a bong, bell bottom jeans, and a tye dyed shirt, because this can't go unnoticed.
