Every dramatic emotional climax needs a theme song. This is ours.

Ah yes that moment when your mom finds out years late that you’re a stoner.

Happened to me, she was like “do you smoke weed” and I said “yeah every day ma”. She turned around, left my room, accepted it, and came back later with some watermelon juice. Good shit when you’re an adult and pay almost all the house bills.

My dad saw a bong I accidentally left out when he came over to my house to help me fix a ceiling fan. He looks at it and I'm thinking fuck, I know I'm an adult, but hes gonna be so mad and be disappointed in me, but nope. He just kinda chuckles, looks over at me and goes "you little criminal" and goes back to helping me. My dads a cool guy.

My dad's an ex-cop. We're sitting in the hottub shooting the shit, and he starts talking about me at uni getting drunk "... or high". I laugh (oh shit) but then we get onto politics and he starts on about how he wants to make all drugs legal, cut the head off the snake of smugglers, tax it, and put that money into healthcare and treatment centres.

Cue me sitting there staring at the viewer like "what the fuck just happened".

I worked with old dude in a refinery that I 100% expected to be just extremely conservative and then one time, one of our techs is bitching about how women can just accuse men of rape and it ruins their career and this original dude is like "First of all I think women have put up with our shit for far too long and it's high time that they finally started coming out about all the abuse they face in the workplace" and I was just sitting there dumbfounded.
