friends to his house . when we went there we found out that that we have the whole house to
ourselves . my friend whos house it was took out a stash of hash from his bag and started to
role a joint . I asked him not to do it because he didn’t know when his father was going to be
back but he didn’t bother a word of mine and fired that joint. I was ashamed of that act and
out of no where his father showed up and came straight to his room and found him doing
illegal act and a crime. Conflict is being a parent and a police officer.
