A father passing by his sons bedroom was astonished to see the bed was nicely made and everything was picked up. 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 Im writing you. I had to elope with my new girlfriend, because I wanted to avoid a scene with Mom and you. Ive been finding real passion with Tshepiso. She is so nice, but I knew you would not approve of her because of all her piercings, tattoos, her tight Motorcycle clothes, and because she is so much older than I am. But its not only the passion, Dad. Shes pregnant. Tshepiso 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. Tshepiso has opened my eyes to the fact that marijuana doesnt really hurt anyone. Well be growing it for ourselves and trading it with the other people in the commune for all the cocaine and ecstasy we want. In the meantime, well pray that science will find a cure for AIDS so that Tshepiso can get better. She sure deserves it! Dont worry Dad, Im 13, and I know how to take care of myself. Someday, Im sure well be back to visit so you can get to know your many grandchildren. Love, your son, Matompenene. Dad, none of the above is true. Im over at Gaos house. I just wanted to remind you that there are worse things in life than the school report thats on the kitchen table. Call when it is safe for me to come home! #tsotsi_yak_failer
