A Daughter's Letter

A DAUGHTER'S LETTER
===================

A mother enters her daughter's bedroom and sees a letter over
the bed.

With the worst premonition, she reads it with trembling hands:

Dear Mom,

It is with great regret and sorrow that I'm telling you that I
eloped with my new boyfriend.

I found real passion and he is so nice, with all his piercing
and tattoos and his big motorcycle.

But it's not only that mom, I'm pregnant and Ahmed said that we
will be very happy in his trailer in the woods. He wants to
have many more children with me and that's one of my dreams.
I've learned that marijuana doesn't hurt anyone and we'll be
growing it for us and his friends, who are providing us with all
the cocaine and ecstasies we may want. In the meantime, we'll
pray for science to find the AIDS cure, for Ahmed to get better,
he deserves it.

Don't worry Mom, I'm 15 years old now and I know how to take
care of myself.

Some day I'll visit for you to know your grandchildren.

Your daughter,
Judith

PS: Mom, it's not true. I'm at the neighbor's house. I just
wanted to show you that there are worse things in life than the
report card that's in my desk drawer...

I love you!
