A mother passing by her daughter's bedroom was
astonished to see the bed was nicely made and everything was picked up.
Then she saw an envelope propped up prominently on the center of the
bed. It was addressed, "Mom." With the worst premonition, she opened the
envelope and read the letter with trembling hands:
Dear Mom:
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 Dad and
you. I've been finding real passion with Ahmed and he is so nice-even
with all his piercings, tattoos, beard, and his motorcycle clothes.
But it's not only the passion Mom, I'm pregnant and Ahmed said that we
will be very happy. He already owns a trailer in the woods and has a
stack of firewood for the whole winter. He wants to have many more
children with me and that's now one of my dreams too. Ahmed taught me
that marijuana doesn't really hurt anyone and we'll be growing it for us
and trading it with his friends for all the cocaine and ecstasy we
want. In the meantime, we'll pray that science will find a cure for
AIDS so Ahmed can get better; he sure deserves it!! Don't worry Mom, 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 grand children.
Your daughter, Judith
PS: Mom, 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 center drawer. I love you! Call when it
is safe for me to come home.
