I just received the following from my sister. I knew that there was a joke inside, but it still took me by surprise. Having been a "Wild Child" of the 70's, I could relate to this on a certain level. Being a father I could also relate to it on another.
I hope that you enjoy this.
Keep in mind that there is a lot of truth to the ending.
Why Parents Drink
A Mother passing by her son's bedroom was astonished to see that his bed was nicely made and everything was picked up. Then she saw an envelope, propped up prominently on the pillow that was addressed to 'Mom' With the worst premonition she opened the envelope with trembling hands and read the letter.

Dear Mom: 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 Dad 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 piercings, tattoos, tight motorcycle clothes and the fact that she is much older than I am.But it's not only the passion...Mom 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 Mom. 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 Paul
P.S. Mom, none of the above is true. I'm over at Dustin's house. I just wanted to remind you that there are worse things in life than the report card that's in my center desk drawer. I love you. Call me when it's safe to come home.

That reminds me of when my sister got mad at my Mom for not letting her go to the movies one time and instead made her go to the church dance.
The next day she anounced that she was pregnant, my Dad was beside himself and ask who I will kill the_________ and she she was not sure it was between the football team and the band. I don't think they really found that joke that funny till years later.
Dave - I agree. I had to remind my wife about that a few minutes ago when she pleaded once again for us guys to put the toilet seat down... : )
Dixie - It does make you step back and reflect on how good things really are.
William - Me too.
Sharon - I loe the way it builds up to something even worse...
Charles - Great story!! We have many of those every year around the campfire during a family reunion. Things that were crisis then we are able to laugh at now. The stories I could tell.....
Yea...sounds like one of my report cards! Well, thinks could be worse like he said!
That's so funny! I would be dieng if i was reading it think that its true. Thanks for the laugh!
Have a good day

What a way to make you laugh even though you should be upset at the grades. Very funny!
Larry -- that's a good one! Thanks for the laugh -- glad it had a happy ending.
Very funny! I don't think the mom was laughing, and he was still in trouble for the grades.
Irene, Maureen and Cheryl - Thanks for the comments
