When Reba McEntire was caring for her sick mother, the last thing she expected was to accidentally get high.

THE country legend stopped by Tonight’s show With Jimmy Fallonwhere she recalled a hilarious story she had with her late mother, who died in 2020 from bladder cancer. While taking a break from tour preparation, McEntire flew to her home state of Oklahoma to care for her mother.

“When I got to Stringtown, Oklahoma, (her sister) Alice said to me, ‘Now, if Mommy starts to hurt tonight when you go to bed, give her one of these candies.’ I said, ‘OK, fine.’ All that? She said, ‘Yes, all of that,'” she remembers about the marijuana candies she was given. “Well, I wasn’t really comfortable with it, so when we started going to bed, I said, ‘Mom, let’s get ahead of this pain.’ I’ll give you half.

McEntire noted that after her mother took the candy, she fell asleep immediately, prompting the “Fancy” singer to take the other half of the dose herself. “I was like, ‘Well, shoot, mom’s got it.’ I need to see what she’s going through,’” she explained.

However, that decision quickly took an unexpected turn when McEntire was woken in the middle of the night by her mother getting up to go to the bathroom. “I said, ‘Mom, wait, I’ll be there,’ and she said, ‘I’m fine.’ So I threw the covers off and that was about all I could do,” she recalls. “I thought I was either going to crawl on the bed or walk.”

McEntire then recreated the hilarious, crawling move she made to get to the other side of the bed, and when she got there, her mom asked for ice water. “You know how you can move quickly on something really quickly? Reba McEntire found ice all over her mother’s kitchen. I said to myself, ‘There’s no way I’m going in this direction,'” she said, noting that she regularly gave her mother water and told her they no longer had of ice.

She continued: “I laid down and I swear there were weeds and flowers growing out of my head. So the next day I asked everyone, “How many milligrams were in these things?” 50! I took 25 milligrams with my mother.

However, McEntire noted, “I always took care of mom! »
