Why Parents Drink

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

With the worst premonition he opened the envelope

with trembling hands and read the letter.


Dear Dad:

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 Mom and you.

I have been finding real passion with Stacy 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...Dad 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 cocaine 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 Dad. 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. Dad, 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 lousy Report card That's in my desk drawer.


I love you.


Call me when it's safe to come home.

Re: Why Parents Drink

I wonder if anyone has ever actually written a note like that. If my daughter had, it probably would have been effective.

Re: Why Parents Drink

I'm not easily impressed, but this does the job. Such a note would certainly get my attention and realign my perspectives of the moment. True or not... the kid's right. 100% right.

Re: Why Parents Drink

I would cut off the last part about it not being true and then let his mother read it.

Re: Why Parents Drink

Never did that, but if I was out past curfew, I would call the house. When one of my parents answered, I would say "That's right....oh..Mom/Dad, its for me". They would then hang up thinking I had picked up the phone in my room and was talking to a friend, when in reality I was still out and would sneak into my room later. Of course, this tactic no longer works because everyone has cell phones and not house phones.

Re: Why Parents Drink

I know what my father would have said to me if I pull that note.
He would have told me "Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out!!"

Re: Why Parents Drink

so true there are worse things in life. Whenever I think I have it bad I think about there are people out there that have it 10 times as bad as I do.
