A father passing by his son's bedroom was astonished to see that
his bed was nicely made and everything was picked up. Then he saw an
envelope, propped up prominently on the pillow that was addressed to
'Dad.' With the worst premonition he opened the envelope with trembling
hands and read the letter.
Dear Dad: It is with great regret and sorrow that I'm writing
you. I had to elope with my new girlfriend because I wanted to avoid a
scene with Mom and you. I have been finding real passion with Stacy and
she is so nice. But I knew you would not approve of her because of all
her piercings, tattoos, tight motorcycle clothes and the fact that she
is much older than I am. But it's not only the passion...Dad she's
pregnant. Stacy said that we will be very happy. She owns a trailer in
the woods and has a stack of firewood for the whole winter. We share a
dream of having many more children. Stacy has opened my eyes to the fact
that marijuana doesn't really hurt anyone. We'll be growing it for
ourselves and trading it wi th the other people that live nearby for
cocaine and ecstasy. In the meantime we will pray that science will find
a cure for AIDS so Stacy can get better. She deserves it. Don't worry
Dad. I'm 15 and I know how to take care of myself. Someday I'm sure that
we will be back to visit so that you can get to know your grandchildren.
Love,
Your Son John
PS : Dad , none of the above is true. I'm over at
Tommy's house. I just wanted to remind you that there are worse things
in life than the report card that's in my center desk drawer.
