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