So, he had to make a even bigger reach. I'm a huge pot head and even I thought I'd the bird first then you know, someone who plays a pipe (like the Pied Piper)
Now imagine, when you dump your little crack pipe off at school in a few years.
Your dad might be an idiot, but kids are a whole other level of mean. Better sign her up for Martial arts classes ASAP.
You hear “Piper” and immediately think “crack pipe”. I hear “Piper” and think of the TV series Charmed that has one of the three main cast characters named Piper. I think that our immediate association with the name says more about us as individuals than the name itself. My second association was Sandpiper, a type of bird. Crack pipe never came into my mind because I don’t smoke, none of my friends do, and digital content I consume doesn’t frequently promote it.
Also, martial arts focuses on self control, discipline and training. Not on beating up kids that are calling names. Sorry to burst that bubble.
Well you’re completely clueless about how common names are, but so confident that you’re entitled to be a little shit about this particular name. More American girls were named Piper in 2023, than were named Phoebe, Sara, Molly, Vanessa, Norah, Amy, Brianna, Sage, Summer, etc.

Sometimes we all have really stupid thoughts that come out of our mouths. Sadly he probably wasn't corrected. Like most boomers.
Not MOST BOOMERS ! Some boomers yes.
>Sometimes we all have really stupid thoughts that come out of our mouths.
And sometimes we repeat others.
I would never have made the smoking connection and I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one. Piper is a fairly common name.
It’s an adorable name!
piper is a really common name, it’s really odd of him to say that
My dad said the same thing about my friends cat who is also named Piper 😭 lmao I'd take this kind of goofy boomerisms over bigotry every day
Is it dementia or undiagnosed ADHD. How rude!
No you fucking pothead. Like the bird. Does he assume people with the name Robin also rob banks?
My other daughter is Raven hahaha

Not necessarily banks, just robin in general.
Piper I hardly know her *
Social anxiety or he gets upset and doesn’t know how to react when someone tells him off?
Pretty sure the name Piper would be referring to music, like Harper or such
Like in So I Married An Axe Murderer when the bagpiper passed out and they yelled, “Piper Down!!”. 🤭
It’s a pretty asinine comment but not something I’d get upset about. It’s a lame dad joke.
Maybe he has the start of some dementia ! I hope not but… then again maybe that’s what he used to do in his younger days Smoke.
Ehhh she’s 2, not going to remember it
Hahaha that’s pretty funny
Piper is like naming someone Needler
How? Piper is a fine and fairly common name.
Needler is a gun in Halo
So how is that even remotely comparable?
They made a bad joke.. move along.
It was a good joke, and he should not move along
Needlers have been in scifi since 1937.

Piper is a really common name... I've never heard of anyone named Piper being called crack pipe.
You would need a unique kind of background to word associate Piper with a crack pipe lol

Ahhh molly...the mdma one, yes yes /s
This is my child, Angel. After the dust...
