The Note

Tweet

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. 
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 that 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 the kitchen table. 

Call when it is safe for me to come home!
