My two year old adopted nephew must have had some bad experience while playing in the bubble bath because for two months straight he fought and resisted and cried whenever trying to convince him to get a bubble bath. His Grammy has been giving farmers baths with baby wipes this whole time.

Well today I (his favorite uncle) decided to try to convince him to once again get in the tub.

“Ooh stinky Ricky needs a bath, do you want to get one”

“No.”

"Awwh don’t you want to play with bubbles and draw on tub with crayons? What about TOYS? Do you want to play with uncle SmokeyDope while you take a baaath? Huuh?

His little mind takes a second to process the query

“mhm…”

“Oooh wooow! Alright let’s go play, let’s go PLAAY!”

incomprehensible shrieks of transcendent happiness “bye bye, bye bye, bye bye!”

He gets up and starts running to the stairs towards bathroom while gesturing me to follow. At this point Grammy and I are like “okay this is happening” so we got his little butt to finally willingly go for a bubble bath. I spent over half an hour playing with him like drawing on the tub, splashing him with water, making goofy noises that kind of thing.

This kind of thing is not really in my comfort zone I never gave him a bath before but im willing to try if it helps the situation. So today was a success but now were unsure whether he’s back on the regular grammy time bath routine or if playtime with uncle SmokeyDope is now a non-negotiable update in the terms and service agreements.

I don’t feel very good about myself most of the time so when I’m able to make change for the better in someone elses life or add even a little bit of positivity to a situation it makes me feel like im not wasting space. Today was a good day as uncle SmokeyDope :)

    Oh man, that looks awesome. I need to step it up. I’ll have to reread this when I’m in a clearer mindstate.

      Glad I could share my pieces and help get your brain juices flowing Can :) The Orb is a great piece the multiple holes give give you options in a way that a regular beaker or straight doesn’t. I still have my straight but I only reach for it occasionally for variety the orb is the real daily driver.

      For potential future reference: The glass bong is the orb v3 from vgoodiez.

      The hookah hose is made by GooRoo for their 3 in one hookah.

      I don’t know if you care about dry herb vaping at all but the vaporizers in the photos are the dynavap (m+), the portable arizer air max and the desktop arizer extremeq All this stuff goes on sale multiple times a year up to around 20% off so if you are interested but the price tags are too high just subscribe to the mailing list and keep an eye out during holidays especially 4/20 and christmas time.
