"This is what made me know he was really special. I'd put him to bed, then after he went to bed, I would roll my little joint. Soon as I got high, I'm thinking Drake's sleep, he could come out. Every night, with something weird" He said. "I'm high. He'd come out of his bedroom and ask me, 'Dad, how many blades of grass are there in the world?...' I said, 'get back to bed!'"
