OT - Dear Dad

Hi, Got this from SIL it's a letter from a son to his father... enjoy

Dear Dad letter....


A father passing by his son's bedroom, was
astonished to see the
bed was
nicely made, and everything was picked up.

Then, he saw an
envelope, propped up prominently on 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.

I had to elope with my new girlfriend, because
I
wanted to
avoid a scene
with Mum and you.

I've been finding real passion with
Stacy, and she is so nice, but I
knew you would not approve of her, because
of all her piercings,
tattoos, her tight Motorcycle clothes, and
because
she
is so much older
than I am.

But it's not only the passion, Dad. She'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.

Stacy has opened my eyes to the fact
that marijuana doesn't, really hurt
anyone.

We'll be growing it for
ourselves, and trading it with the other
people
in the commune, for all the
cocaine and ecstasy we want.

In the meantime, we'll pray that science
will find a cure for AIDS, so
Stacy can get better. She sure deserves
it!!

Don't worry Dad, I'm 15, 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
many grandchildren.

Love, your son, John.


P.S. Dad,
none of the above is true. I'm over at Tommy's
house. I just
wanted to remind
you that there are worse things in life than
the
school
report that's on my
desk.

I love you! Call when it is safe for me to
come
home.

I've read things like this before.... and while a bit over the top -- tis
true that we (or at least I!!!) devote too much energy focusing on the minor
negatives... making them into big problems.

Thanks for the reminder...

I did something similar to my mother once. I called home because I
was going to be late for curfew. I started the conversatioon with
"Promise me that no matter what I say you won't hang up, because this
is the only phone call I get..." After she finished freaking out she
was quite relieved that I was just going to be a little late.
