I think of a friend's Ex who asserted that the fact that he shoved her into a wall and punched her in the stomach was okay because after all, they were arguing and he "didn't hit her in the face".

Yikes, I'm glad for your friend that the word 'Ex' is in there.

Being high on cocaine can do wonders for one's self-confidence, I hear.

Hmm... and Leif does have a lot of energy...

(Sorry, Gud. I'm just amused at the thought of second or third graders using hard drugs).

My friend Miriam is a pediatric nurse. She often posts on message boards that she "gives drugs to small children."

When I worked for a pharmacy I delighted in saying I delivered drugs for a living.

My kids never fail to be amused when I tell them to take drugs. It would likely not be as funny if they did.

I had a friend who had to very carefully say medicine, not drugs or she would get lectures from her kids

and in good news my kitty is waking up from his drugs. the vet assitant is finding him very funny. She called him a lightweight.

I can totally relate to poor lightweight kitty. Upon waking up from anaesthetic, after having my wisdom teeth out, I spent about twenty minutes insisting to my mother that Margaret Thatcher was going to kill us all. It was election season - 1997. Drugs of all sorts make me loopy (and amnesiac).

my youngest sister found mailboxes hysterically funny on the drugs from her wisdom teeth removal

They gave me just the faintest whiff which knocked me out and I woke up groggy and nauseated. You know what's not fun? throwing up when you've got four holes in your gums.

My brother was like an elephant - they had to give him more mid-surgery and he woke up high as a kite until he crashed and became sort of unbearable.
