The very hilarious letter has gone viral after a teenager went to extreme lengths to prepare his parents for a potentially bad school report.
The letter read: "It is with great regret and sorrow that I am writing you.
"I had to elope with my new girlfriend because I wanted to avoid a scene with mom and you."
The teenager mentioned his 'girlfriend's' attitude towards marijuana.
"I’ve been finding real passion with Stacy, and she is so nice, but I knew you would not approve because of her piercings, tattoos, tight motorcycle clothes, and the fact she’s much older than I am.
"But it’s not only the passion Dad; she’s pregnant.
"Stacy said that we will be very happy. She owns a trailer in the woods, and has a stack of firewood for the whole winter. We share a dream of having many more children.
"Stacy has opened my eyes to the fact that marijuana doesn’t really hurt anyone. We’ll be growing it for ourselves and trading it with 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 that Stacy can get better. She sure deserves it.
"Don’t worry, Dad.
"I’m 15, 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 many grandchildren.
"Love, Joshua"
Any parent would be close to hyperventilating at reading such a letter - until they got to the 'P.S. at the bottom.
It read: "Dad, none of the above is true. I’m over at Jason’s house.
"I just wanted to remind you that there are worse things in life than the school report that’s on the kitchen table.
"Call when it's safe for me to come home!"
It isn't clear whether the story, which appeared on Nymeta , is true or urban legend, but it certainly goes to show there are worse things to happen than a D grade.
