Drug Free

This morning Molly was rummaging in her backback for something she got at school the previous day. She told me it was a "free drug thing". That definitely had my attention. She eventually removed from her bag a red ribbon stating that she was "Drug Free". I asked her if she knew what that ribbon meant. She replied...

"Yes, I know. And you know what else, Mom? Probably, if Michael Jackson had gotten one of these ribbons in Kindergarten, he wouldn't be dead now." After I told her that she definitely understood being "drug free", I told Molly that maybe she was watching too much of the "Today" show with me in the morning because she doesn't forget anything. She then stated, "You want to know something else I know about Michael Jackson?" (Yes, I was afraid of the next sentence.) "One time...his hair caught on fire. THAT probably was not good." Great observation for a six-year-old. That certainly was not good.
