Mellow Out

Fandango

Calvin got a look of consternation on his face. “Why don’t you just do what I tell you to do? Why are you always so goddam negative about everything.”

“I’m not being negative,” Marcia said. “I’m just asking why you are so upset about the brand of rolling papers I got. What difference does it make?”

“What difference does it make?” Calvin said. “It makes a huge difference, Marcia. Zig-Zag papers are far superior to those generic papers you got. They’re stronger than that cheap shit and they burn more slowly and uniformly. Do you want to engulf your fingers in flames when using those POS rolling papers you bought?”

“Fine,” Marcia said, “I’ll head back to the head shop and get your freakin’ Zig-Zag papers.”

“Don’t bother,” Calvin said. “I will text your brother and arrange for him to pick up the Zig-Zag papers on his way here. Just next time don’t cut corners.”

“And to think that you’ve always said that smoking grass is suppose to make you mellow, Gramps,” Marcia said.

    My friends almost never let me roll. I was awful at it, and anything that I rolled fell apart.

      That’s funny. I really did prefer Zig-Zag to other papers.

        The ones favoured in Australia are called Tally-Ho. I once had some rollie papers that were extra long and had the US flag on them. Quite handy if there was a big group to pass around with

    Looks like Gramps has been without his rolling papers for too long!!!
    Typo alert: I think you meant brother and not bother in the second last paragraph.

    Oops I forgot, the story reminded me of this MADD advertisement…

      There is a slight resemblance, isn’t there. Fortunately, my rolling papers never chastised me for being too high.
