Subject: Daughters letter


A mother enters her daughter's bedroom and sees a letter over the

bed. With the worst premonition, she reads it, with trembling

hands:


It is with great regret and sorrow that I'm telling you that I

eloped with my new boyfriend. I found real passion and he is so

nice, with all his piercings and tattoos and his big motorcycle.

But its not only that mom, I'm pregnant and Ahmed said that we will

be very happy in his trailer in the woods. He wants to have many

more children with me and that's one of my dreams too. I've

learned that marijuana doesn't hurt anyone and we'll be growing it

for us and for his friends, who are providing us with all the

cocaine and ecstasy we want. In the meantime, we'll pray for the

science to find the cure for AIDS, so that Ahmed can get better. He

deserves it. Don't worry Mom, I'm 15 years old now and I know how

to take care of myself. Some day I'll visit so you can get to know

your grandchildren.


Your daughter, Judith


p.s. Mum, it's not true. I'm at neighbour's house. I just

wanted to show you that there are worse things in life than the

school's report card, that's in my desk's drawer. I love you!
