Amended from something I read on facebook:
A mother passing by her daughters bedroom was astonished to see the bed was nicely made & everything was picked up. Then she saw an envelope propped up on the centre of the bed. It was addressed, “Mum”. With the worst premonition, she opened the envelope with trembling hands:
"Dear Mum, it is with great regret & sorrow that I’m writing to you. I had to elope with my new boyfriend because I wanted to avoid a scene with you & Dad. I love him & he is so nice, even with all his piercings, tattoos, beard & motorcycle clothes. He said that we will be very happy. He already owns a trailer in the woods & has a stack of firewood for the whole winter.
He wants to have many children with me & that is now one of my dreams too. He taught me that drugs don’t really hurt anyone and we can get money by selling them. In the meantime we’ll pray that science finds a cure for his illness so he can get better. He sure deserves it!
Don’t worry Mum, I’m 15 years old now & I know how to take care of myself. Someday I’m sure we’ll be back to visit so you can get to know your grandchildren.
Your daughter, Sophie…
P.S. Mum, none of the above is true. I’m over at the neighbours house. I just wanted to remind you that there are worse things in life than my report card that’s in my desk drawer. I love you! Call me when it is safe to come home!!"
