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 Mum 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
piercing's, 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. Someday, I'm sure we'll be back to visit, so you can get to
know your many grandchildren.
Love, your son, Joshua.
P.S. Dad, none of the above is true. I'm over at Jason's
house..............
I just wanted to remind you that there are worse things in life
than the school report that's on my desk........
I love you! Call when it is safe for me to come home.
