A Mother passing by her son's bedroom was astonished to see that his
bed was nicely made and everything was picked up.
Then she saw an envelope, propped up prominently on the pillow that was
addressed to 'Mom' With the worst premonition she opened the envelope
with trembling hands and read the letter.
Dear Mom:
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 Dad 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... Mom 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 Mom.
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 Paul
P.S. Mom, none of the above is true. I'm over at Dustin'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.
