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 with 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 16 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
P.S. 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. I love you. Call me when it's safe
to come home.
