A father passing by his son's bedroom, was astonished to see the bed
was
nicely made and everything was picked up. Then, he saw an envelope,
propped
up prominently on the pillow. It was addressed "Dad." With the worst
premonition, he opened the envelope and read the letter, with trembling
hands.
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've
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, her
tight
Motorcycle clothes and because she is so 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 in the commune
for
all
the cocaine and ecstasy we want. In the meantime, we'll pray that
science
will find a cure for AIDS, so Stacy can get better. She sure deserves
it!!
Don't worry Dad, I'm 15 and I know how to take care of myself.
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 when it is safe
for
me to come home."
