Never, ever switch phone numbers with your mom.

A 15-year-old named Christian recently got himself in a sticky icky situation after swapping phone numbers with his mother. Someone didn't get the memo, and unfortunately, that someone was his weed dealer.

Christian's sister Anna tweeted out a photo of the exchange, which as an older, wiser sister, she found pretty hilarious.

"Need bud?" the text said.

Christian's mom replied explaining the mishap, but needed some clarification.

"Does he need what?" she asks.

" Bud. A buddy," the texter replied, trying to play it off real smooth. "I heard he lonely AF."

While Christian's mom wasn't sure at first, Anna tells Mashable that she figured out bud was slang for marijuana after confirming with her. Of course, he denies having any involvement with weed at all.

Leave it to an older sibling to rat you out to your mom.

Regardless, people still complemented the weed dude with his smooth save.
