So we got to my uncle’s and, as I expected, he was high as fuck. Cae knocked on the door and he opened it really fast and asked if we were with the Feds. I said yes.
Uncle Pothead: “No shit! Oh God, please don’t take my stash, man! I got it fair and square. I mean... Why are you here?”
Me: “We’ve got reports of illegal drug consumption.”
Uncle Pothead: “Bullshit, man. I need this stuff.”
me: “Why?”
Uncle Pothead: “I have... Cancer. Yeah, that’s it. I have cancer.”
Me: “We’re taking you in.”
Uncle Pothead: “Oh God, man! Please don’t! I’ll... I’ll have sex with you. Is that what you want? Sex?”
Me: “Uncle Tom, it’s me. Cali. This is getting awkward. I was kidding.”
Uncle Pothead: “Oh. Shit. Don’t tell your mom.”
Me: “I won’t.”
Cae: “Do you have the wotsits?”
Uncle Pothead: “The what-what?”
Me: “They’re like... Cheetos. You should’ve gotten them in a package. We called ahead and said we’d come pick them up.”
Uncle Pothead: “Oh shit, those Cheetos were for you?”
Cae: “Wotsits.”
Uncle Pothead: “Whatever. I ate them, man. I thought they were a gift from like... Jesus or some shit.”
Cae got really pissy and her lip started trembling like she was going to cry.
She really wanted those wotsits.
Uncle Pothead: “Oh, don’t cry, man. I have weed. Do you want some weed?”
Cae wiped her eyes and nodded yes. He came back and gave her the weed, and we walked off.
Cae: “Your uncle is cool.”
Me: “He’s a pothead. He stole from my mom once.”
Cae: “But he gave me weed. So he’s cool.”
We climbed into the car and as I got into the driver’s seat I took the bag from her and smelled it.
“Yep. Just like I thought.”
“What?”
“It’s oregano.”
Cae slammed her fist against the front panel.
“That dick! Can we go back? Please? I want to get some real weed.”
“Nah. He’s already gone.”
