Letter To Mom - Things Could Be Worse
[A mother enters her daughter's bedroom and sees a
letter over the bed. With the worst premonition, she reads it with trembling
hands...]
Dear Mom,
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 piercing and
tattoos and his big motorcycle.
But is 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. I've learned that marijuana doesn't hurt anyone and
we'll be growing it for us and his friends, who are providing us with all the
cocaine and ecstasies we may want. In the meantime, we'll pray for the science
to find the AIDS cure, for Ahmed to 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 for you to know your grandchildren.
Your daughter,
Judith
PS: Mom, it's not true. I'm at the neighbour's house. I just wanted to show you
that there are worse things in life than the report card that's in my desk
drawer… I love you!
