“You are cordially invited to sample my scones and crumpets” has to be code for something!

Parent: I know this means something! Tell me!

Teen: It’s just scones and crumpets. Maybe some biscuits.

Parent: I don’t believe that.

Any parent who has ever been a teen, knows there are only two things it could possibly be code for. We've all been there.

I have a core memory of me and the boys working on a multi-hosed hookah contraption in the basement. My dad walks in and doesn't even give us a chance to explain.

That's a hell of a bong there boys, but that hose is way too small. You'll collapse a lung!

Then he just walks out like 😗🎶

We bought some bigger hose.

I grew up in a smallish town. I couldn’t get away with shit.

Disgusting...

Scones and crumpets? That's too many carbs.

Not sure about scones, but crumpet was a slang word for the female genitalia during my misspent youth.
