With a terrible premonition, she reads it with trembling hands: <\/p>\n<p>Dear Mom: <\/p>\n<p>It is with great regret and sorrow that I&#8217;m telling you that I eloped with my new boyfriend. He is so nice, but I know you would never approve of his piercing and tattoos and his big motorcycle. But it&#8217;s not only that, Mom, I&#8217;m pregnant. 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&#8217;s one of my dreams. I&#8217;ve learned that marijuana doesn&#8217;t hurt anyone, and we&#8217;ll be growing it for us and his friends. They promise to provide us with all the cocaine and Ecstasy we could ever want. In the meantime, we&#8217;ll pray for science to find the cure for AIDS so Ahmed can be well again. He deserves it. Please don&#8217;t worry, Mom. I&#8217;m 16 now and I know how to take care of myself. Some day I&#8217;ll visit so you can meet your grandchildren. <\/p>\n<p>Your daughter, <br \/>Judith <\/p>\n<p>PS: Mom, it&#8217;s not true. I&#8217;m at the neighbor&#8217;s house.<br \/>I just wanted to show you that there are worst things in life than the report card in my desk drawer. I love you!
