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 Randy because I wanted to
avoid a scene with Mom and you. I've been finding real passion with
Randy 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 Randy said that he
wants me to have the kid and that we can be very happy together.
Even though Randy 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? Randy 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. Randy 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 Randy 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,
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 let you know that there are worse things in life than my
report card. That's in my desk, center drawer. Please sign it and call
when it is safe for me to come home.I love you!!!
