Thanks to SK who sent me this post about 'A daughter’s letter to her dad.

A father passing by his teenage daughter's bedroom was astonished to see the bed was nicely made
and everything was neat and tidy.

Then he saw an envelope propped up ... prominently on the center of the pillow. It was addressed "Dad".
With the worst premonition, he opened the envelope and read the letter with trembling hands:-

Dear Dad,

It is with great regret and sorrow that I'm
writing 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
piercings, tattoos, and motorcycle clothes. But
it's not only the passion Dad, I'm pregnant
and Randy said that he wants me to have the
kid and that we can be very happy together.

Even though Randy is much older than me
(anyway, 42 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 CD 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 t
aught 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!!

Your loving daughter,
Rosie.

At the bottom of the page were the letters
"PTO".

Hands still trembling, her father turned the
sheet, and read:

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