Why Parents Drink
A father walked past his son's bedroom and was astonished to see that his bed was nicely made and everything was picked up. Then he saw an envelope prominently propped up on the pillow that was addressed to "Dad".
With the worse premonition, he opened the envelope, and with trembling hands, he read the letter.
Dear Dad,
It is with great regret and sorrow that I am 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 Stacie and she is so nice.
But I know 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.
Stacie 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 the dream of having many more children.
Stacie has opened my eyes to the fact that marijuana doesn't really hurt anyone. We'll be growing it for ourselves and trading with the other people that live nearby for cocaine and ecstasy.
In the meantime we pray that science will find a cure for AIDS so that Stacie can get better. She deserves it.
Don't worry Dad. I know I'm only 15, but I know how to take care of myself.
Someday I know we will be back to visit so that you can get to know your grandchildren.
Love, Your son, John
PS: Dad, none of this is true. I'm over at Tommy's house.
I just wanted to remind you that there are worse things in the world than a report card that is in my center desk drawer.
I love you.
Call me when it's safe to come home.

The boss wondered why one of his most valued employees was absent but had not phoned in sick one day. Needing to have an urgent problem with one of the main computers resolved, he dialed the employee's home phone number and was greeted with a child's whisper. ' Hello ? '
'Is your daddy home?' he asked.
' Yes ,' whispered the small voice.
May I talk with him?'
The child whispered, ' No .'
Surprised and wanting to talk with an adult, the boss asked, 'Is your Mommy there?' ' Yes '
'May I talk with her?' Again the small voice whispered, ' No '
Hoping there was somebody with whom he could leave a message, the boss asked, 'Is anybody else there?'
' Yes ,' whispered the child, ' a policeman . '
Wondering what a cop would be doing at his employee's home, the bos s asked, 'May I speak with the policeman?'
' No, he's busy , ' whispered the child.
'Busy doing what?'
' Talking to Daddy and Mommy and the Fireman , ' came the whispered answer.
Growing more worried as he heard a loud noise in the background through the earpiece on the phone, the boss asked, 'What is that noise?'
' A helicopter! ' answered the whispering voice.
'What is going on there?' demanded the boss, now truly apprehensive.
Again, whispering, the child answered,
' The search team just landed a helicopter '
Alarmed, concerned and a little frustrated the boss asked, 'What are they searching for?'
Still whispering, the young voice replied with a muffled giggle...
' ME . '
