Then, he saw a letter, propped up prominently on the pillow. It was addressed, &#8216;Dad&#8217;. With the worst premonition, he opened the envelope and read the letter, with trembling hands.<\/p>\n<p>Dear, Dad. It is with great regret and sorrow that I&#8217;m writing you. I had to elope with my new girlfriend, because I wanted to avoid a scene with Mum and you.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;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&#8217;s, tattoos, her tight Motorcycle clothes, and because she is so much older than I am.<\/p>\n<p>But it&#8217;s not only the passion, Dad. She&#8217;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.<\/p>\n<p>Stacy has opened my eyes to the fact that marijuana doesn&#8217;t really hurt anyone. We&#8217;ll be growing it for ourselves and trading it with the other people in the commune for all the cocaine and ecstasy we want.<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, we&#8217;ll pray that science will find a cure for AIDS so that Stacy can get better. She sure deserves it!<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t worry Dad, I&#8217;m 15, and I know how to take care of myself. Someday, I&#8217;m sure we&#8217;ll be back to visit so you can get to know your many grandchildren.<\/p>\n<p>Love, your son, Joshua.<\/p>\n<p>P.S . Dad, none of the above is true. I&#8217;m over at Jason&#8217;s house. I wrote this letter to remind you that there are worse things in life than the school report that&#8217;s on the kitchen table.
