The Goodbye Letter
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
Mom and you. I've been finding real passion with Stacy, and 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 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 grandchildren.
Love, your son, John.
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 center desk drawer. I love you! Call
when it is safe for me to come home!!
