Sounds Like "That 70's Show"

I was just talking with someone I work with. She is an older lady, into her 60's, and she told me that she once grew a big marijuana plant right in the middle of her garden. It apparently got pretty tall. She didn't even know what it was.

She is an avid gardner. One of her sons gave her this "cute little tree" (she called it) and she planted it in her garden. She watered it and fertilized it and got it to grow several feet tall. She said it was really pretty and she liked it a lot.

Then one morning she looked outside and the tree was gone. She ran outside and saw that someone had just pulled it out of the ground and took off. When she asked her boys and her husband if they saw anything they all said no. But she does remember the two boys looking a little sheepish that day.

Then a few years later when everyone was all grown up they finally told her the truth. The one boy had given her the thing knowing she would grow it nice and big for them to harvest later. They knew she wouldn't know what it was. She said she has a corner lot and is surprised that no one called the cops or something. It was in plain view of anyone going past the house.

That sounds like something from "That 70's Show". I have never watched the show but I get the impression it could have happened on it. Plus, it was the 70's when this happened. At any rate, it's pretty funny to me. :)
