A father passing by his daughters bedroom was astonished to see that her bed was nicely made and everything was picked up. Then he saw an envelope, propped up prominently on the pillow that was addressed to “Daddy” With the worst premonition he opened the envelope with trembling hands and read the letter.
Dear Daddy:
It is with great regret and sorrow that I’m writing you.
I had to elope with my new boyfriend because I wanted to avoid a scene with mommy and you.
I have been finding real passion with John and he is so nice.
But I knew you would not approve of him because of all his piercings, tattoos, tight motorcycle clothes and the fact that he is much older than I am
But it’s not only the passion…Daddy Im pregnant. John said that we will be very happy. He 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. John 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 John can get better. He deserves it. Don’t worry Daddy. 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 Daughter, Jenny
PS. Daddy, none of the above is true. I’m over at Leah’s house.
I just wanted to remind you that there are worse things in life than the report card that’s in my Left desk drawer. I love you. Call me when it’s safe to come home.
P.S —
