It is with great regret and sorrow that I’m writing you.
I had to elope with my new girlfriend Stacy, because I wanted to avoid a scene with Mom and you. I’ve been finding real passion with Stacy, and she is so nice.
However, I knew you would not approve of her because of her piercings, tattoos, and punk clothes. Also, she is so much older than me.
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 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,
Joshua
P.S
– Dad, none of the above is true. I’m over at Jason’s house. I just wanted to remind you that there are worse things in life than the school report that’s on the kitchen table. Call when it’s safe for me to come home!
