“What experiments?”

“With the grow.”

“You…”

“Don’t worry, uncle Hank; I’ve never seen grandpa smoking before; he always goes into the other room.”

“If you haven’t seen him, how do you know that that’s what he’s doing?” She gave me a look that made me feel stupid. “Sorry I asked.” I waited a couple beats before carrying on.
