What I mean, is the whole thing is sad. Yes, it's sad that they were doing drugs at all, it's sad that they were so stupid to do them in a public place, it's sad that they were arrested, and it's sad that it could detrimentally affect their future.
As a parent, I have learned to never say in a high and mighty tone, "My kids would NEVER do that." Because as soon as you do, karma bites you in the butt and your kids get busted doing it, from stupid things when they were little, to drinking in high school, to God forbid, doing drugs.
I have told my kids that I know they will make mistakes, just to please not make any life altering mistakes, the big three being:
1. don't flunk out of school
2. don't get anyone pregnant
and 3. don't get anything above a class C misdemeanor.
But, if they did, I wouldn't love them any less, and these two have families who love them. I don't think having a laugh at the expense of others' sadness is a nice thing.
What is that German word? Schadenfraud or something?
