A Letter
Dear Mom and Dad,

It has now been three months since I left for college. I have been 
remiss in writing and am very sorry for my thoughtlessness in not having 
written before. I will bring you up to date now, but before you read 
on, please sit down. You are not to read any further unless you are 
sitting down... Okay ?

Well, then, I am getting along pretty well now. The skull fracture and 
the concussion I got when I jumped out of the window of my dormitory 
when it caught fire shortly after my arrival, are pretty well healed 
now. I only spent two weeks in the hospital and now I can see almost 
normally and only get three headaches a day.

Fortunately, the fire in the dormitory and my jump were witnessed by an 
attendant at the gas station near the dorm and he was the one who called 
the Fire Department and the ambulance. He also visited me at the 
hospital, and since I had nowhere to live because of the burned-out
dorm, he was kind enough to invite me to share his apartment with him. 
It's really a basement room, but it is kind of cute. He is a very fine 
boy and we have fallen deeply in love and are planning to get married. 
We haven't set the exact date yet, but it will be before my pregnancy 
begins to show.

Yes, Mother and Dad, I am pregnant. I know how much you are looking 
forward to being grandparents and I know you will welcome the baby and 
give it the same love and devotion and tender care you gave me when I 
was a child. 

The reason for the delay in our marriage is that my boyfriend has some
minor infection which prevents us from passing our  premarital blood 
tests and I carelessly caught it from him. This will soon clear up with 
the Penicillin injections I am now taking daily.

I know you will welcome him into our family with open arms. He is kind 
and although not well educated, he is ambitious. Although he is of a 
different race and religion than ours, I know your expressed tolerance 
will not permit you to be bothered by the fact that his skin color is 
somewhat darker than ours. I am sure you will love him as I do.

His family background is good, too for I am told that his father is an 
important gunbearer in the village in Africa from which he comes.

Now that I have brought you up to date, I want to tell you that there 
was no dormitory fire, I did not have a concussion or skull fracture, I 
was not in the hospital, I am not pregnant, I am not engaged and, 
I do not have any disease.....

... However, I am getting a "D" in History and an "F" in Science.... 
and I wanted you to see these marks in the proper perspective. 

Your loving daughter,
Agony
