The Drunk Dog and My Mom's Pot Party
Continuing on with Laugh WeekMy mom is sharp as a tack and funny to boot.
My brothers were always on the naughty side, doing things that kept my parents
wondering how the boys would make it to adulthood.
They hoped a train to Philly once when they were 10 and 12 ,
they called home from Philly for my dad to go get them,
he said "You see the trains going the other way?
Well, hop on one and get off where you got on."
They did and made it home.When they were in Jr high they decided to make "dandelion wine",
I remember they tried it with mulberries too.
They had it in buckets in the spring house and the dog got in there.
We had a wicked little terrier with the name of Tootsie.
Tootsie was pure nasty and snarled at everyone and everything except my mom.
One summer day Tootsie started running in wild circles around the yard, lap after lap
and then she fell over flat out.
My mom said
"Whaaaaaa? What in the world's wrong with Toooootsie?"
well...she's drunk!"
She thought for a second and said
"HEY! What do those boys have in the spring house?"
She stomped over there and peered inside and found what was left of the wine.
She dumped it out but she tasted it and said "Mmmm, they did pretty good!"One time my mom was weeding the flowerbed and she saw pot growing in our garden.
She knew my brothers must have scattered marijuana seeds there
and figured they probably sowed some in neighbors flowerbeds as well.
She thought that she better go look around the little country neighborhood.
She did find some and weeded it all out and then burned it in the burning barrel.
She thought "This will be one way to find all the potheads in the little village,
they will all come running, thinking that I am not home
and that the boys are throwing a party".
She stood at the door and waited and she was right,
one by one people came to see where the party was,
she just laughed and acted like she had no clue what was going on.
That was my moms version of a pot party.I have to go but I want to ask that you let me know of a funny post you have seen
and tomorrow I want to make a list of them for us to check out.

Haha! She's a hoot! I wonder what Boo would be like drunk...
I love your mom! Wish mine had her sense of humor. Or a sense of humor, at least! I'll keep my eye's peeled for some chuckles.
Your mom is SUCH A CUTIE!!!!! I adore her!!!!
That is too funny... and downright weird.
in later iterations of wile e coyote with sam sheepdog. most often it was the coyote trying to get one past the supposedly not paying attention sheepdog....always ending not in the original roadrunner cartoons with long falls and calamity but upfront calamity metered out on the spot.
You're Mom is so funny! If my brothers had ever hopped a train I would have been at home hoping they wouldn't find their way back so I could have their bedroom.
I'm still laughing at Wild Woman's post about her boys running away.
Hilarious and Darling!!!
Wow those made for some great stories, eh?
~V
@saintvi - If we would have hopped a train,he would have probably pushed me out so he could have the room to himself.
So very funny. Excellent stories!
great stories
Oh, this is priceless!! When I lived in Central Texas, a train track ran behind the police station. Someone found a brown paper sack full of pot on the tracks. The cops, being ingenius, put an ad in the paper that a bag of pot was found on the tracks. The owner could pick it up at the station. THREE PEOPLE came down to claim it. All three were arrested.
Oh, those rowdy Mennonite boys...
Awesome!
I could just see her standing there with her burning pile of pot~ so how close did she actually stand to this pile?
Too cute!
I messaged you a funny post I read today~
that's pretty awesome xD
I would have left the pot plants. They're pretty :]
LOL!! The pot party is awesome!!!
I had a friend once who used LSD quite a bit at one point. He had a sheet of tabs in his pocket that ended up going through the wash before he remembered and rescued it. Enough of the dissolved LSD stuck around that his mother had an unusually sunny disposition for awhile, whenever she was the sweater washed with it.
That's how the story goes, anyway.
Your mom sure knew how to throw a party.
Ha! Your mom is a hoot!

Toooo funny about the dog!!! I've never tried to make wine but my Father-in-law did. He use to spike has wine with the strongest Vodka he could find!!! Every one loved his wine!!! LOL!
I LOVE Mildoo... I love hearing stories about her even more.
A friend of mine mom's threw a pot party very similar to this when we were much younger but she got our names and call our parents. LOL Memories.
Funny stuff. My mother had an older lady watching us once when she went away for a weekend. We were barely teens and I remember she called the cops to the house thinking we were smoking pot, we were burning incense!
LOL Maybe that nasty terrier needed to be got drunk more often.
Funny, funny story, Beth. Much appreciate the laugh, this evening.
@myfanwe - or stoned! heh.
The interactions between your brothers and your parents sound like the basis for a comedic movie LOL. Seriously, those are just hilarious! I love that your dad said take a train the other way LOL. And your mom's pot party, I'm not sure I'd have that presence of mind if I found that in my garden. So funny, loved this!!!
Even your blog title made me laugh before I got here!
You mom does sound like a fun lady.
Hahahahaha.
My roomie and I advertised a pot party all around campus once,
and when everyone showed up, we handed out cheap metal pots we'd bought at the dollar store, telling everyone they could take as much candy as they wanted from the big bowls in the living room, as long as it fit in the pots.
Best party we ever threw.
@opticalnoise - I love that idea.
Great stories!!! I wasn't laughing before I got here (must have forgotten it was laugh week), so I'm glad I came by.
your mom is a riot
You're mom is so cute & funny!!!
Your mom kicks ass!
Pretty funny stuff.
Thanks awesome! I'm so thankful that I stumbled across your site tonight!! I seriously need a laugh.. It's been a stressing day!!
Thanks for participating in the photo contest!
Very funny! Bet it was a real sight to see! hehe. I like your mom!
I read a funny post at http://sonnetjoy.xanga.com/739492076/minerva-and-my-dinner/
You asked for funny posts. I loved this one on pelicans: http://melfamy.xanga.com/739484837/a-post-full-of-pelicans/?page=1&jump=1519084874&leftcmt=1#1519084874
Hilarious!!! Great story
D
Your mom's cool!
I lol'd! Your parents sound cool, especially your mom, and very old-school. Much like my parents ("you see the other trains?" hahaha!). But of course they've picked up on new slang as well...which impresses any friend I've ever had. Any more funny stories??
Good stories. Reminds me of when I found a six pack the bricklayers had left cooling in the river beside our house. I had heard that if you shook up a beer and threw it against something sharp it would fly around and spin while releasing the pressure. I tried it and it worked. To top off the fun, our golden retriever followed the cans around lapping up the spilling beer and getting drunk in the process.
Lol, your mom's pot party is hilarious!
