A neighbor commented on my hydroponic stash today during an impromptu BBQ I hosted at Chez McDad.
Alas, I’m not that cool, if you find such things cool. A 41-year-old father of 2 living in the Colorado burbs really has no business growing his own pot. This “grass” is merely a school project that Lilly brought home.

With regard to this subject, here’s a little word association that seems apropos for both me and pretty much anyone stopping by MMW.
Weed: The things I pulled for an hour today.
Blow: What we do with snotty noses.
Crack: What the girls flashed me when they bent over with full diapers.
Ecstasy: An hour without one of the girls having a meltdown about something absurd.
Dope: The image MRS has of me more often than not.
Heroin: The star of most of the tedious Disney movies.
Speed: Antonym of the rate with which my girls do anything when I’m in a hurry.
Roofie: The final resting place for “Emma the doll” when the neighbor’s kid threw her in the air.
Junk: The place Lilly’s foot ended up when she jumped on me in bed this morning.
Cronic: The rate with which nagging phrases emit from wives’ mouths (just kidding girls, and I’m not just saying that because I’m afraid of you).
8-Ball: My magic investment adviser and relationship coach.
Gram: Our favorite crackers.
Joint: The things on me that ache every morning.
Greenie: The thing Lulu sneezed on me.
Juice: What I have none of when I try to get a reservation these days.
Lines: The reason I will never visit Orlando.
Nose Candy: Candy that Lulu sticks in her nose––along with her finger, rocks, dirt, food, money, and crayons.
Uppers: Explosive shits that blow through the diaper and reach the shoulders.
The Clear and The Cream (to answer a few emails, this is a steroid thing ala Barry Bonds): When the diaper rash is all clear you don’t need the cream.
