"For those of you who caught Matt&amp;#x27;s blog yesterday before he jetted off with Maddy to Mexico (lucky!) you know the OMGNEWS! Matt and Maddy are featured in this week&amp;#x27;s issue of People mag. If you live in NYC, you can pick up a copy today--it officially hits newsstands nationwide on Friday. Congrats bud! This is big time! I knew you when... Moving on, have you ever done drugs? Like, Coke, E, Weed, K, Acid, Shrooms...you know drugs?I ask because yesterday when JD and I walked to the mailbox an old Buick slowed down, and a grey-haired man with hardly any teeth manually rolled down the window and told me how &amp;quot;damn cute&amp;quot; my kid was. &amp;quot;Gosh Darn Cute. My Goodness!&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Aw, thank you Sir,&amp;quot; I said. (It never gets old!) &amp;quot;He looks like a good boy, too,&amp;quot; the man said. &amp;quot;He is!&amp;quot; I said and JD hugged my leg. What perfect timing! Can we say Academy Award? (But prior to coming outside he took off his socks and popped them in the toilet, declaring &amp;quot;Ut-Oh Mama.&amp;quot;) &amp;quot;But you have to be careful, you know. He gets in with the wrong crowd--it&amp;#x27;s over,&amp;quot; he said and his eyes drifted to something far away. (For real. That red-haired kid at Gymboree looks like trouble. Always running around with his shoelaces untied!) &amp;quot;Yeah! I hear ya. Kids today,&amp;quot; I said. (Kids today. I said that. Actually said it. Am I...old?) &amp;quot;My son got mixed up in drugs. Hung out with the wrong crowd. At times I wished an angel would just take him he was so far gone...and then one day...ah, an angel did.&amp;quot; How do you respond to something like that? Crap. I was just going to get the mail, hopefully collect some freelance checks and not any bills. &amp;quot;I&amp;#x27;m, I&amp;#x27;m sorry, Sir,&amp;quot; I said. &amp;quot;It was a long time ago. You hold on to that little one there,&amp;quot; he said, winked and drove off. Drugs. Bad news. I&amp;#x27;ll be honest. I experimented (hardly)--but I never did drugs to get by or make it through the next hour. I never had a &amp;quot;problem.&amp;quot; I never had a dealer on speed dial. It was more social and sort of, &amp;quot;eh, why not!&amp;quot; (I know how stupid that reads--I was curious.) I know people that weren&amp;#x27;t so lucky--people that ended up in Rehab (Thank God, though!). People that ended up in jail. People that died. I could literally throw up thinking about the time someone might offer JD something, make him think it&amp;#x27;s cool, make him think he has to do it. I talk more about this in chapter 17 of Rattled! on sale April 14th. Pre-order my book here. Have you ever experimented with drugs? Do you have a story about how you overcame an addiction, or how someone else&amp;#x27;s (maybe your kid&amp;#x27;s) drug abuse affected your life? Share. No shame. Educate your kids about the dangers of drugs and teach them how to JUST SAY NO here."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
