A father passing by his teenage daughter's
bedroom was astonished to see the bed was
nicely made and everything was neat and tidy.

Then he saw an envelope propped up
prominently on the center of 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,
but I'm leaving home.
I had to elope with my new boyfriend Rocky
because I wanted to avoid a scene with Mom and you.

I've been finding real passion with Rocky
and he is so nice to me.
I know when you meet him you'll like him too
even with all his piercings, tattoos, and motorcycle clothes.
But it's not only the passion Dad,
I'm pregnant and Rocky said that
he wants me to have the kid and
that we can be very happy together.

Even though Rocky is much older than me
(anyway, 42 isn't so old these days is it?),
and has no money, really these things shouldn't
stand in the way of our relationship,
don't you agree?

It's true he had other girlfriends as well but I know he'll
be faithful to me in his own way.
He wants to have many more children with me
and that's now one of my dreams too.
Rocky taught me that marijuana doesn't
really hurt anyone and he'll be growing it for us
and we'll trade it with our friends for all
the cocaine and ecstasy we want.

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

Your loving daughter,
Rosie.

At the bottom of the page were the letters
"PTO"

Hands still trembling, her father turned the
sheet, and read:

PS: Dad, 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.
Please sign it and call when it is safe for me to come home.
I love You!
