Kids Pranking Parents by “Accidentally” Texting Them About Buying Drugs

It's been less than 48 hours since this prank began but already parents are freaking out all over the country! Wednesday night, a comedian named Nathan Fielder, who hosts a show on Comedy Central called "Nathan For You",  tweeted the idea:  Text your parents, quote, "got 2 grams for $40?"  

Then text, quote, "sorry, ignore that text."  In essence, he wanted kids to pretend they meant to text a DRUG DEALER, but accidentally texted their parents.  So kids started doing it, and posting screenshots of the results.  Pretty much on cue and just as you'd expect, parents' reactions were exactly as predicted.

One guy's mom wrote him, quote, "2 grams of whaaaaat?  You're freaking me out!!  Erik, what the hell?  You're giving me a heart attack.  Seriously!  Now you're doing cocaine?  Ganja?  What???  God help me.  And you." 

One kid's dad wrote back, in all caps, quote, "WTF.  YOU'RE GOING TO REHAB.  I'M NOT KIDDING.  YOUR MOTHER AND I ARE ON THE WAY TO PICK YOU UP FROM COLLEGE TONIGHT."

Of course, this will stay funny for a bit, but probably play out in a couple days as more parents catch on to what's going on....or someone has a stroke...which has a tendency to remove all the "funny" from the idea.
