A father is passing by his son’s bedroom one day and is amazed to see the bed nicely made and everything clean. To his surprise, he notices an envelope sitting on his son’s desk.

The letter was addressed to the father. Scared, he decided to read it, thinking the worst had happened to his son.

“Dear Dad,

It is with great regret that I am writing to you.

I had to elope with my new girlfriend because I didn’t want a scene with you and mum.

I’ve got a real connection with Sally. She is so nice, but I know you wouldn’t approve because of all her tattoos, piercings, tight clothes and because she’s older than I am.

But we have more than a connection. She’s pregnant.

I know Sally and I are going to be really happy.

She owns a trailer in the woods and we have plenty of firewood to keep us warm for the winter. We also plan on having more children.

Sally has opened my eyes to the wonders of illegal drugs and how they don’t hurt anyone. We will make money by selling them to people in the community.

Don’t worry about me. I’m 17 and I know how to take care of myself.

Someday, we will be back and you can get to know your grandchild.

Love always, Simon.

P.S. None of the above is actually true. I’m just over at Nathan’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 me when it’s safe for me to come home.”
