When I was 11, in 6th grade,
And there was a line I wrote about kids smoking weeds (not weed). Lol

Reread it as a teenager and laughed at my misrepresentation.
I wonder if the teacher laughed when they read it.

30+ years ago in grad school a classmate had administered an IQ test to a child.
When asked to define join the child said "something you smoke".

Amazing how words can get twisted.

Thanks for sharing this post.
