Mom Finds Weird Drugs In Daughter’s Drawer, But 16-Year-Old’s Response Turns Everything Upside Down

ADVERTISEMENT

When Lisa Banks from Bedford, Texas found a suspicious-looking bag of colorful pills in her 16-year-old daughter Ashley’s bedside drawer, she naturally feared the worst. But as you can see from the hilarious exchange that ensued, not everything was quite as it seemed…

Ashley was at a friend’s house when she received a text from her mom along with a photograph of the suspected contraband. “Ashley Carol I will not have drugs in my house,” read Lisa’s angry SMS. “Your (sic) grounded. Come home this instant.” All was forgiven however when Ashley explained to her mom what those “drugs” actually were. Read on for the full hilarious story that’s been liked 65k times on Twitter and shared by almost 50,000 people. The moral of the story? Don’t jump to conclusions. Well, that and don’t keep suspicious-looking pills in your bedside drawer…

I like the "You are 16 not 7". Oh sorrry ms.Mom! Next time she will bring drugs since it's a thing more of her age.

My thoughts exactly! Just because you're a parent does not excuse you of apologising when you are in the wrong.

So you think you find drugs in your daughters room and you just text her to say she's grounded? That's a really wise reaction, sure it work 100% times! Maybe wait till she's home and try to discuss it?.. By the way, I Love the dinosaurs! :D

In a way this overly harsh reaction makes me sad. Trust is the most valuable asset in any relationship, also in the with your children.

Gosh, this seems staged. If not I feel awful that this teen, who is still in touch with her sweet little girl side, by liking spongy dinos, was accused of doing drugs.

Mom has trust issues. Ashley Carol might be "lol'ing" in text, but I have a feeling mom won't be knowing much about what happens in college.

Mothers tend to freak out at the littlest things... literally! I started working out some years ago, and I asked my younger brother to take photos of me topless. My mum walked in on us and freaked out why i was asking my younger brother to take nude photos of me; forgetting that i was in shorts. -_-

Oh and also the reason why SOME mothers "freak out over the littlest things" is because women are judged more harshly with parenting than men are. We have to be extra careful with how we raise children otherwise we are constantly scrutinized by complete strangers and harassed simply because we're "not doing a good job". You can thank this unfortunate misognist world we live in for that.

Between the immediate assumption of the worst, the dry lack of an apology, and the humorless rhetorical question about the girl's age, the mom sounds like a peach... Unless, of course, it's staged, which is quite likely.

Crying out loud if you can't tell those are water sponge caps you need to get yours eyes checked. Crazy when we are always looking for the worst in things, come to find out nope it's just toys. I just used these yesterday. They were an animal train set from the train station.

They are partially digested. You have to go to ER for medication to make sure they fully break down then you pop it out. You have to collectthe poop then return to doctor for followup scan.
