A father passing by his son's bedroom was astonished to see the bed
nicely madeup and everything neat and tidy.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
you and Mom .


I've been finding real passion with Joan and she is so nice. I knew
you would not


approve of her because of all her piercing, 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.


Joan says that we are going to be very happy. She owns a trailer in
the woods and


has a stack of firewood, enough for the whole winter. We share a
dream of having


many more children.


Joan has opened my eyes to the fact that marijuana doesn't really
hurt anyone.


We'll be growing it 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 Joan can


get better; she sure deserves it!


Don't worry Dad , I'm 15 years old now 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


grandchildren.


Your son, Chad





P.S. 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 the report card
that's in my


desk drawer. I love you! Call when it is safe for me to come home.

sounds like something my grandson would do
