“Well, I wasn’t really comfortable with that,” Reba recounted.

When the time came, she gave her mom half.

But then Reba a novice with edibles got curious.

“And I thought, ‘Well, shoot.

Mama’s taking it.

I need to see what she’s experiencing,'” she said.

Reba followed suit and went to sleep beside her mom.

“I threw back the covers and that’s about as far as I got.

And I thought, ‘Oh my gosh, I gotta help her.

I’m gonna look like a wimp if I don’t,'” she said.

Reba managed to get to her mom, but failed her next mission: getting ice water.

To avoid a trip to the kitchen, she told her mom they ran out of ice.

“She said ‘Why?’

Fortunately, she was able to move past these feelings and rediscover her voice.
