DON’T WORRY

A mother passing by her son's bedroom was astonished to see that his bed was nicely made and everything was picked up. Then she saw an
Envelope, propped up prominently on the pillow that was addressed to 'mom.'

With the worst premonition she opened the envelope with trembling hands and read the letter.


Dear mom:

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 you.

I have been finding real passion with Stacy since I met her last month and she is so nice.
But I knew you would not approve of her because of all her piercing, tattoos, tight motorcycle clothes and the fact that she is much older than I am. But it' s not only the passion...mom 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 that live nearby for crack and ecstasy.
In the meantime we will pray that science will find a cure for AIDS so Stacy can get better. She deserves it. Don't worry mom. I'm 15 and I know how to take care of myself.
Someday I'm sure that we will be back to visit so that you can get to know your grandchildren.


Love, Your Son John



PS. mom, 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 a Report card that’s in my center desk drawer.


I love you.


Call me when it's safe to come home.

moral of story: It could always be worse
