Adolescence

(A father passing by his teenage daughter's bedroom is astonished to see that her bed is nicely made and everything neat and tidy. Then he sees an envelope propped up prominently on the center of the pillow. It is addressed 'Dad.' With the worst premonition, he opens the envelope and reads the letter with trembling hands)

Dear Dad,

It is with great regret and sorrow that I'm writing to you, but I'm leaving home.

I had to elope with my new boyfriend Randy because I wanted to avoid a scene with Mom and you. I've been finding real passion with Randy and he is so nice to me. I know when you meet him you'll like him too – even with all his piercing, tattoos, and motorcycle outfits.

But it's not just the passion Dad, I'm pregnant and Randy said that he wants me to have the kid and that we can all be very happy together. Even though Randy is senior to me (anyway, 53 isn't so old these days is it?), and has no money, really these things shouldn't stand in the way of our relationship, don't you agree?

Randy has a great mp3 collection; he already owns a trailer in the woods and has a stack of firewood for the whole winter. It's true he has other girlfriends as well but I know he'll be faithful to me in his own way. He wants to have many more children with me and that's now one of my dreams too. Randy taught me that marijuana doesn't really hurt anyone and he'll be growing it for us and we'll trade it with our friends for all the cocaine and ecstasy we want. In the meantime, we'll pray that science will find a cure for AIDS so Randy can get better; he sure deserves it!! Don't worry Dad, I'm 15 years old now and 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 loving daughter,

Rosie.

(Hands still trembling, her father reads)

PS: Dad, none of the above is true. I'm over at the neighbor's house. I just wanted to remind you that there could be worse things in life than my report card that's lying in my desk centre drawer. Please sign it and call when it is safe for me to come back home.

I love you!
