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 piercing, 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 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 a report
Card That's in my center desk drawer.
I love you.
Call me when it's safe to
come home.
