I remember when my Nbrother as a teen wanted to try drugs.
Lol!!
When I was about 16 my mother called me into my brothers' bedroom. On the bedside table next to OBs bed (he would have been 17 or 18) she had found a small white paper bag, screwed up at the top, with a yellow powder inside. She showed it to me, and said in a little girl kind of voice, 'What is it?'
I opened the bag, licked my finger, stuck it in and tasted what was inside. I said 'Its sherbert. What did you thnk it was?'
'Eeeeeh, I thought it was drugs!' she said. At which point I laughed at her, and said she should know OB better than that; he would never take drugs.
Which told me that my Nmum loved a bit of drama, and was actually rather hoping to have found one. But she was cursed with 3 children, none of whom have taken drugs, or drunk to excess, or smoked. What a disappointment we have been to her!
I wonder if she would have tried it if it had been something rather more illicit ...
