LOL! Just my youngest. My oldest is 3 years, 2 months, and 3 weeks away. But it's the daughter whose 11 years away that I worry about.
ping :-)
As soon as I saw my daughter, I would inform her that she aged me prematurely for a few seconds and hand her the below:
I had a drug problem when I was young.
I was drug to church on Sunday morning.
I was drug to church for weddings and funerals.
I was drug to family reunions no matter the weather
I was drug to the bus stop to go to school every weekday.
I was drug by my ears when I was disrespectful to adults and
teachers.
I was also drug to the woodshed when I disobeyed my parents. Those
drugs are still in my veins; and they affect my behavior in everything I do,
say, and think. They are stronger than cocaine, crack, or heroin, and if
today's children had this kind of drug problem, America might be a better
place.

Puts things in perspective - after one regains consciousness....
Sent it to my dermagrapholigst.
If it was my 15-year-old son, I'd be kinda proud he could write such a nice letter.
Yeah - It's funny. Like any parent would believe that letter.
Dang! Why didn't I think of that one? I was so dumb, I didn't even try to change the grades! :)
"My God if i were that parent i probably would have had a heart attack halfway through this thing"
Always read the entire letter, instruction... I found this out while taking a test in college (Business Law) where the professor expressly told everyone to read the entire instructions before beginning to answer any of the questions. The last paragraph of the instuctions stated: 'put your name in the upper right-hand corner of this sheet & hand in your exam - do not answer any of the exam questions because you will lose 1 letter grade for each question you answer'. I passed the exam - about 1/2 the class failed it.
A friend of mine did this when she told her mom that she smoked cigarettes. First she said, "Mom, I'm pregnant. OK, really I'm not, but I smoke."
Worked like a charm.
i think emotion would have caused my heartattack forcing me to not read the rest - if i did not have heart failure i would have read the whole thing
Heh... I R used to those kind of report cards. *sigh*
