This requires an explanation, I know! Many of you are aware that Ryan's research is based mostly based on marijuana research. He was away for a week in September and again in October to present his research at conferences in Germany and Sweden. Of course, Hunter wanted to understand where Daddy was going and why he had to be there. So we discussed it was a work trip, but Hunter is a very inquisitive boy at this age, so he kept asking questions. Eventually we told him that Daddy does research on drugs, specifically called marijuana, to help people. He then wanted to know what drugs were, so we explained that some drugs people take when they are sick to make them better, but if you use drugs when you aren't sick or use them too often than they are not good for you.
Not long after, Hunter started using the word "marijuana" quite clearly...so you can imagine our angst in thinking that he would say the wrong thing to the wrong person and they would think his parents use drugs.
We were heading home from picking up a movie while Ryan was away on his trip and Hunter started talking about why Daddy was away. Then he started talking about how he doesn't want any marijuana since it's bad. I was just pulling into our neighborhood so quickly pulled over to get it recorded on my phone...definitely something to show him when he goes through his experimental teenage years!
