basically i just got back from uni and my mum was sticking my washing in the machine. I was upstairs and my little sister came in and handed me the lighter, I'd forgotten it was in my hoodie. My mum is really anti-smoking and I don't really know what to say to her?

[Einsteinius]

wow

[najinaji]

Say 'ay brav dis iz for lighin ma blunt innit'.

She'll understand. She may even let you have some of her stash of 'crow'.

[TheGrandmaster]

You dun goofed son.

[OrlandoMagic]

Ouch

[saim101]

I'm confused do you smoke? Just say its not yours and be MORE CAREFUL next time

[nickss]

Say you went to a festival with some friends, and thought it would be appropriate to bring a lighter to raise.

Or say that offering a lighter to somebody greatly in need brings you happiness.

[Favourite Worst Nightmare]

Say you tried it and didn't like it? You use it to light candles? Or you might just have to come clean and say you won't do it again

[thetopnotch]

You use the lighter as an ice breaker in the smoking areas at uni?

[Hudzy]

Tell them that you use it to light your bunsen burner.

I have loads of lighters and I don't smoke. I just like fire, cos that's man stuff. It's what men do. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[Manitude]

It's not unheard of for non-smokers to have lighters. I had one for a while which I carried around for the inevitable event when my smoker friends forget theirs. I actually used most of the fuel to light chinese lanterns

Say it's for heating up and dissolving your cocaine and heroin. Show her a teaspoon to make sure she knows.

She'll be okay with it. I saw on MumsNet that all mothers love it when their children do hard drugs.

Naught naughty, tch tch. Jk. You're 21, it's your choice whether you want to smoke or not, as long as your not smoking at your mums house or anywhere near her so that she won't get upset, it's your choice, your life, your health. Simples.

haha she was doing me a favour normally I do my own washing but our machine broke at my uni house

[thegodofgod]

Say you normally empty out the fuel in the lighter into the petrol tank in your car, in order to beat the rising cost of fuel, but forgot to do that this time round

I just would like to avoid any arguments with my mum if possible
