ROSEI LETTER TO DAD...!
A father passing by his teenage daughter's bedroom
was astonished to
see the bed was nicely made and everything was neat
and tidy. Then
he saw an envelope propped up prominently on the
centre of 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, but
I'm leaving home. I had to elope with my new
boyfriend John because
I wanted to avoid a scene with Mom and you.
I've been finding real passion with John and he is
so nice to
me. I know when you meet him you'll like him too -
even with all his
piercing, tattoos, and motorcycle clothes. But it's
not only the
passion Dad, I'm pregnant and John said that he wants
me to have the
kid and that we can be very happy together.
Even though John is much older than me (anyway, 42
isn't so
old these days is it?), and has no money, really
these things
shouldn't stand in the way of our relationship, don't
you agree?
John has a great CD collection; he already owns a
trailer in
the woods and has a stack of firewood for the whole
winter. It's
true he has other girlfriends as well but I know
he'll be faithful
to me in his own way. He wants to have many more
children with me
and that's now one of my dreams too.
John taught me that marijuana doesn't really hurt
anyone and
he'll be growing it for us and we'll trade it with
our friends for
all the cocaine and ecstasy we want. In the meantime,
we'll pray
that science will find a cure for AIDS so John can
get better; he
sure deserves it!!
Don't worry Dad, I'm 15 years old now 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.
Your loving daughter,
Rosie.
At the bottom of the page were the letters "PTO".
Hands still trembling, her father turned the sheet,
and read:
PS: Dad, none of the above is true. I'm over at the
neighbor's house.
I just wanted to remind you that there are worse
things in
life than my report card that's in my desk centre
drawer. Please
sign it and call when it is safe for me to come home.
