My dad used to say “your ass is grass and I’m the lawnmower” as a joke sometimes, but then he would beat the ever living fuck out of me with whatever was in reach and it didn’t seem like he was joking at all.

I was confused by what this meme meant, but it reminded me of that.

God. That comment was a rollercoaster.

I’m ridiculously sorry you lived through that. Hopefully you’re in a better spot, and pops is maggot food.

Still alive last I checked but dead to me if that means anything.

Whatever happened during that time was entirely not your fault. You were a kid, and entirely innocent.

Make sure you get into therapy to help get yourself sorted out. Don’t let that period of your life define you: you deserve better.

The meme is how you would pay for a ride, if you were hitch hiking. You can pay for gas, give the driver some weed (grass) or fuck him (ass)

In case no one gets it, the context is it used to be an expression, along the lines of:

Gas, Grass or Ass, Nobody Rides for Free

Additionally, Weed, Whites (pills), and Wine had a moment when Little Feat & Linda Ronstadt popularized Lowell George’s “Willin’”.

I don’t get it?

Reading the other reply, I guess it’s about ‘payment’ for taking a hitch hiker. As fuel became expensive now, the driver can no longer afford the other two options in exchange.
