Why Parents Drink... - 04-24-2007, 07:49 AM


Got this in the email today and thought I'd share...

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A father passing by his son's bedroom was astonished to see that his bed
was nicely made and everything was picked up. Then he saw an envelope,
propped up prominently on the pillow that was addressed to "Dad." With
the worst premonition he opened the envelope with trembling hands and
read the letter.

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 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...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 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 Dad. 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 John



PS. 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 a report
card. That's in my center desk drawer.

I love you.

Call me when it's safe to come home.

At my house, I would have been alarmed that the bed was nicely made and everything was picked up.

Great story!:) If I had walked into my stepson's bedroom, while he still lived here, and seen that the bed was made up and the floor was visible I would have immediately called the police!<g>

Best regards,

Education will not; the world is full of educated derilicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent."
