>Things aren't always as bad as they seem! 

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 John 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 John said 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.   

 John taught me 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 John 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.  

 Some day I'm sure we'll be back to visit so you can get to know him and your grandchildren.  

 

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 there are worse things in life than my report card which is in my desk drawer.  

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