Dropping the coffee habit

I had to laugh today when a woman told me her history with the coffee habit.

She said that years ago her son gave her a hard time about drinking coffee. He said to her, “Mom you need to quit drinking coffee. Don’t you realize that stuff is a drug?”

Mom replied, “Oh I only drink 3 or 4 cups a day, it’s no big deal.”

Her son came back with, “Well then, Is it okay if I smoke 3 or 4 joints a day?”

Mom suddenly had a rude awakening. She stood aghast at how comfortable she had been in drugging herself for many years and the kind of example she was setting for her children. She quit drinking, and that was the end of her coffee habit.
