ummmmmm

Ok, so I sat in on a class to answer questions about the good old US of A and afterward the teacher gave me a ride home...at which point we had the following conversation...

Her: "Yeah, I'm pretty sure the kids smoke cannabis between classes..."
Me: "Oh, wow...that's pretty sad"
Her: "Yeah, sometimes they're just too happy when they come to class. And I heard the one girl say she couldn't understand you because she had smoked too much. And that means it wasn't cigarettes."
Me: "Yeah, that's not good"
Her: "I think they smoke it to get away from reality. I mean, we smoked it too...but to dream, to imagine, and to create...and they just want to get away."

I wanted to laugh & cry at the same time...
