A Mother passing by her 15-year old 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 ' Mum '. With the worst premonition she opened the envelope
with trembling hands and read the letter.
Dear Mum,
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 Mum . 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 Derek
P.S. Mum , 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 centre desk drawer.
I love you. Call me when it's safe to come home
