Dude, that is a ghetto pipe, i have on almost identical to that, and i had that same lighter the other night, it ran out though. Is that pipe a tip of a laser pointer, piece of a pen and a nut of some sort? Thats what it looks like. All my shit is stashed under the cabinets of the bathroom in a little bin, e-z access.
I'm glad your mom was cool about it. My dad don't live with me and my mom dont really care and niether does my sister. Its cool to have parents that aren't stuck up goodie-two-shoes(ya know)
