Why Parents Get Gray Hair

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

Then he saw an envelope propped up prominently on 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. I had to elope with my new girlfriend because I wanted to avoid a scene with you and Mom.

I've been finding real passion with Joan and she is so nice. I knew you would not approve of her because of all her piercing, tattoos, her tight motorcycle clothes and because she is so much older than I am but it's not only the passion, Dad, she's pregnant.

Joan says that we are going to be very happy! She owns a trailer in the woods and has a stack of firewood, enough for the whole winter. We share a dream of having many more children.

Joan has opened my eyes to the fact that marijuana doesn't really hurt anyone. We'll be growing it and trading it with the other people in the commune for all the cocaine and ecstasy we want.

In the meantime, we'll pray that science will find a cure for AIDS so Joan can get better; she 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 son,

Chad

P.S. Dad, none of the above is true. I'm over at Tommy's house. I just wanted to remind you that there are worse things in life than the report card that's in my desk drawer.

I love you! Call when it is safe for me to come home.

Gray Hair heck.........that would give me a massive MI

[bbbrammer]

I should have thought of this when I was younger. I would have been grounded for a year, but it would have been worth it.

Just seeing the bed made would have given me a massive coronary.

You guys sleep in a bed? I'm still sleeping on the squad bench seat, and it doesn't have to be made.

Well you'll be glad to know I make my bed... :wink:

Clearly I lied... But! I'm awesome at hospital tucks! I did 2 weeks of full on making beds when I was on clinical placement but yet can't be bothered making my own...

I have also written 2 similar letters but on different topics... One to my boss and one to my folks...

Don't get on my bad side

Timmy sounds like the farmer who comes back from living lazily in the city, and when his wife asks, "Don't you think you should dust the crops?" he answers, "Oh, just let the maid dust them."
