Dear Mom and Dad: It has been six months since I left for college. I'm
sorry I haven't written more often and I'm very sorry for my
unthoughtfulness. I'm >sure you have been worried about me. Let me bring
you up to date, but before you read on, please sit down Ok? Don't read any
further unless you're sitting down. Ok? Good. I am getting along pretty
well now.
The skull fracture and the concussion I got from jumping out of the window
of my dormitory when it caught on fire several months ago, are pretty much
healed now.I only spent two weeks in the hospital! Mom always said the
girls in our family heal fast. In fact, I can almost see normally again and
I only get headaches three times a day now. Fortunately, the fire in the
dormitory and my jump were witnessed a gas station attendant who immediately
called 911. He's so sweet.He even visited me in the hospital, and since I
had no where to live because of the burnt-out dorm, he was kind enough to
invite me to share his apartment with him. It's really a basement room, but
it's kind of cute. He really is a good person with a kind heart. We have
fallen deeply in love and are planning to get married.
We haven't set the exact date yet, but I'm sure that it will be before I
start to show. That's right, Mom and Dad, I'm pregnant! I know how much
you are looking forward to being grandparents, and I know that you will give
that baby the same love, devotion and tender care you gave me when I was
growing up. We would get married now but we both failed out premarital
blood tests because of some minor infection. He told me about before hand,
but dumb me, I carelessly caught it anyway. Not to worry though the doctor
said my daily penicillin injections should clear it up by next month.
I know you will welcome him into our family with open arms. He is kind, and
although not well educated, he is ambitious -- just like ! Also, he is of a
different race and religion than ours, but I know, after all your years of
teaching me tolerance, that you won't mind the fact that he is somewhat
darker than we are. I'm sure you will love him as I do. His family
background is good too!
I am told that his father is an important gun bearer in his native African
village. That's an important government position where he comes from.
Well, I guess that's all!
Now you know why I wanted you to sit down when you read this letter. Now
that I've brought you up to date, I just wanted to let you know
-- there was no dormitory fire, I didn't suffer a concussion or a skull
fracture, I wasn't in the hospital, I'm not pregnant, I'm not engaged, I
don't have syphilis and there is no boyfriend of another race or religion in
my life; however, I DID vote for Gov. Bush, and I just wanted you both to
see this in its proper perspective.
Your loving daughter, Chelsea
P.S. Stanford is great... I love it, though I miss you both terribly..and
socks, too!
P.S.S. Dad, please give my best to Monica and all the others
