She’s actually 12. By 14 I’m sure she’ll “get” the whole drug topic a lot better, because right now she’s still a total goody-goody who can’t even imagine the appeal of drugs or alcohol.

They don’t smoke ALL day, just every day. They still have jobs and stuff, mostly. She doesn’t even meet them all anyway though. I’ve got a couple real friends, and the rest are just my sinning buddies.
