A mother passing by her daughters 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 Im writing you. I had to elope with my new boyfriend because I wanted to avoid a scene with Dad and you. Ive been finding real passion with Ahmed and he is so nice-even with all his piercings, tattoos, beard, and his motorcycle clothes. But its not only the passion Mom, Im pregnant and Ahmed said that 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 thats now one of my dreams too. Ahmed taught me that marijuana doesnt really hurt anyone and well be growing it for us and trading it with his friends for all the cocaine and ecstasy we want. In the meantime, well pray that science will find a cure for AIDS so Ahmed can get better; he sure deserves it!! Dont worry Mom, Im 15 years old now and I know how to take care of myself. Someday Im sure well be back to visit so you can get to know your grand children. Your daughter, Judith PS: Mom, none of the above is true. Im over at the neighbors house. I just wanted to remind you that there are worse things in life than my report card thats in my desk center drawer. I love you! Call when it is safe for me to come home.
