My daughter really freaked me out!!!

[limitless_euphoria]

Okay, so Mrs. LE was making cinnamon rolls and fried eggs for breakfast this morning and my daughter was playing with me telling me stories. Then she decides to play "Doctor." So she's like "Dad I need to give you a shot so it will make you feel better."

So, sort of half dumbfounded I'm like "What exactly are you giving me?"

She responds "It's called purple magic and it will make you feel good."

And I defensively respond, "That doesn't sound like a good idea. Maybe you'd better give me the flu shot instead."

Now if that were YOUR kindergarten-aged daughter fellow junkys or recovering junkys would that not freak you out!!!

[blackman]

LOL!! fucking great! I'm so glad I don't have kids!!

don't worry LE, your daughter's purple magic probably isn't as self-destructive as our purple magic.;)

[dharma bum]

Yeah thats out there man. I wonder if she somehow watched American Gangster---blue magic to purple magic isn't a big leap.

[Papa Verine]

I wouldn't worry about it at all LE. I have a daughter too, just turned 7 last week. You wouldn't believe the shit she comes up with. I'm pretty sure the "purple magic" was innocent enough.

My daughter likes to play doctor too. I'm sick, and she has to make me all better. She gives me shots too and I always ask her "what are you giving me doctor?" and she'll say all kinds of wierd shit. And always follows with "It will make you feel all better".

I realize references in peoples speech like that constantly whether they meant them or not, young or old. I think its because I do nothing but read, write, analyze, and interpret constantly in college. But none the less freaky. I think id write it off as coincidence though....She is in kindergarten after all, she is just playing Doc. Who didn't play fireman or cops and robbers you know?

[limitless_euphoria]

I think you guys are right. It's just a creative little girl playing Doctor making up things that sound fun or interesting. I pretended to be scared of needles btw. I figured that's what she'd expect. It was creepy I will say that much.

It's almost like... man kiddo, if you only knew. Someday I think I will tell her the truth. I plan on basically telling her don't get carried away with alcohol and I won't be disappointed if you smoke weed. I will however be really, really disappointed and pissed off if you try coke or opiates. Even if she tried mushrooms or something I'd really just, from my experience alone, prefer she not even open Pandora's boxes.

[China white]

not sure le, if i were you id try and find out where she got the idea ....now its time for me to take my shot

[Actavis]

yeah, that would freak me out a bit to be honest. for the sheer fact that in grade school these days teachers are actually asking kids probing questions about what mom and dad do drug wise but in a way the children do not understand. ie: does mom or dad smoke a pipe, or does mom or dad drink a lot...etc (due to the wonderful DARE program). i have some friends that got arrested over smoking nuggets as their kid had no idea what they were doing, but were asked by an officer in the dare program (and as we all know how innocent kids are, they just told them what was happening) this was in the early 90's by the way. have no idea if it is still going on, but i would not doubt it. here is an older article about the dare officers asking kids to talk about what their parents do at home. (Called DARE Scare: Turning Children Into Informants?)

now i do not advocate using in front of kids, not at all! but i still find this shady. now everyone out there is a fall down incoherent addict. there are a lot of functional users out there that do perfectly fine, make tons of $ and take care of their family.

anyway, these friends were then visited by DHS, then had police officers sent to their home with a warrant to search the home. (and some stuff was obviously found) to this day i have no idea how or why the judge would issue a warrant, but it did happen.

Your daughter can give me a shot of "purple magic" anytime,man.


Seriously,I wouldn't worry about it.

man this reminds me of the other day how I helped this girl pick up. Her kid was in the back & the mom made him play a game where he would drape a cloth over the back seats like a tent while we scaled the dope & she did her shot. i got the fuck out of there man, thats not cool..she kept saying she never does that usually. Or having to see a friend for dope who would be with his 9yr old on a bike in the park.. i wonder what that kid is going to think in a few years

[at&t]

Dunno LE............. I mean.... Unless I have you confused with someone else, You've mentioned your wife sometimes/often saying things to you things like "Limitless Euphoria, you're starting to get on my nerves! Go take your pills so you can feel better!" (whether she is joking, or otherwise... ;))

BUT then again... thats what medicines are for anyway... to "feel better..." Vitamins, Aspirin, Penicillin, etc... So... I don't know....

Anyway-- You've definitely nothing to worry about! -- But you're Also definitely a good guy though, for thinking about it/being so worried about it/watching what she says/thinks/does so closely......

[edit: deleted... nevermind.... Anyway, no worries either way... a pretty innocent thing for her to say/think/do... Sounds like a really nice day... Your kid playing games with you, your wife making cinnamon buns and bacon and eggs or whatever... Have a good weekend over there sir... and, you know... don't worry... Cheers, at&t

ps #1. yeah... you're surely a good guy for worrying and thinking about it so much like this...

ps #2. Hey... Actavis... Thats quite a story! freaking 'DARE' asking to "Tell me about the Special Pipe that Mommy sometimes smokes..." Damn...
Oh... but, btw-- you said "these friends were then visited by DHS," (which is.... Department of homeland security? or.... (?))

ps #3. And finally-- I agree with the first guy... I am glad every day that I don't (and never shall) have kids... Too much, so much responsibility... Y'all folks here who do, and who really seem to be, you know, really good caring parents-- Nick, LE, that one lady who took her kid to halloween while middling sick on suboxone, etc, etc, all have my (fwiw).. respect/admiration... (not to mention also my "Damn! Glad that isn't Me!" as well.) ;) etc. But.. Well, Never mind... Sorry.! Over and out, at&t ]

[harmonik]

hehe, I got myself a DARE shirt. i've found a few fellow druggies with it and most LE laughs at me..


your daughter's remarks were innocent. hell, she prolly don't even remember it.

^^that makes me really really sad....but i can see how it could happen.

my friends kid the other day was going to her friends party and she got all excited and said "i can't wait to get all junked up!!!" And her fam does no drugs or anything. I'm sure it was totally innocent LE.

[Hoss]

Probably some silly flippy bippy bappy chappy commercial she saw on Nick hawking some kind of kiddy bapple - interesting coincidence, though. Nothing to worry about, for sure.

If you didn't do drugs it wouldn't seem weird to you, would it? My kids are imaginative too. If one offered me a shot of purp magic, I'd take it, but ask first, did the doctor say I needed the purple magic? Cuz I never take medicine the doctor doesn't tell me I need.

Medicine is what the doctor gives you and you know it will help you get better, Drugs are not what you get from the doctor. I always made sure that I used the right verbiage when talking to/around my children.

If I was looking for my pills, you can be sure that I would say outloud..."Has anybody seen my medicine?" But now that they're older and for the most part out on their own I say, "Where the hell did my drugs go?" :eyebrow:

[The_Highwayman]

My girlfriend told me a while ago that her 2 year old was playing with her baby doll and had some medical toys with it and gave it a shot with the plastic toy syringe, she even knew to hit the doll right in the crook of it's arm

[edhorfin]

Do you really think she was talking about illicit drugs? If so, I'd be freaked too.

She knew it would make he meds work faster when put there, as opposed to in the shoulder , or God forbid, the butt.....ISn't that in the pictorial directions that come with toy medical kits?

Madam, I'm pretty sure by kindergarten my folks knew Iwas either a future doctor or future junkie. Coulda gone either way, but once I started getting so stoned I couldnt do anything, the balance fell on the junkie side. Your kids will be doctors, no doubt.

[limitless_euphoria]

Actually guys in hindsight I think my wife had recently taken both kids to the pediatrician and my son had gotten a shot (vaccination update). As someone earlier in the thread had suggested, if I'd never gotten "into" drugs the way I did, it would have likely meant nothing. I think it was shock-value for me as in "if my little girl only knew what she were saying could be interpreted as."

She is already on medication so she knows all about taking pills and that Mom and Dad do as well. She's even inquired about taking pills w/o reason but in comparing notes with other parents that's not uncommon. I still remember lying through my teeth to her saying "Now honey, we only take pills that we need that the doctor tells us its' okay to take..."

The devil with the pitchfork on my shoulder cried out "HYPOCRITE" as I spoke those words.
