Life’s little problems

One day, as Rachel is cleaning her daughter’s bedroom, she notices a letter on the pillow addressed to her. With a worried feeling, Rachel reads the letter. This is what it said:

Dear Mom,

I’m sorry to have to tell you this but I’ve eloped with my new boyfriend. He’s so different, Mom. First of all, he’s not Jewish. And, what with his pierced tongue, his tattoos and his big motorcycle, I’ve found real passion with him. But that’s not all. I’m pregnant. But don’t worry, Mick says that we will be very happy living in his VW bus. He even shares my dream of having a big family and he wants to have more children with me.

He’s very clever as well. He’s taught me how to grow marijuana and I agree with him that it doesn’t hurt anyone. So we’ll be growing it not only for us but also all his friends.

Don’t worry about our finances. Mick has arranged for me to dance at a very nice club. Mick says my audience will be made up of very attentive businessmen. But don’t worry, I’m 15 years old and know how to take care of myself.

In the meantime, Mom, please pray that science will soon find a cure for AIDS. Mick deserves to get better.

Love, Rebecca

P.S. This letter is completely made up. I’m actually at the neighbor’s house. I just wanted to prove to you that there are worse things in life than denting your Lexus.
