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 centre 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 Randy because I wanted to avoid a scene
with Mom and you. I've been finding real passion with Randy and he is so nice to
me. I know when you meet him you'll like him too - even with all his piercing, tattoos,
and motorcycle clothes. But it's not only the passion Dad, . Even though Randy 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 has other girlfriends as well but I know he'll be faithful to m in his own way.
In the meantime, we'll pray that science will find a cure for AIDS so Randy can get better;
he sure deserves it!!
Don't worry Dad, I'm 15 years old now and I know how to take care of myself.
Someday I'm sure we'll be back to visit.
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 neighbour's house. I just wanted to remind
you that there are worse things in life than my REPORT CARD that's in my desk centre drawer.
Please sign it and call when it is safe for me to come home. I love you!
