Learn How To Communicate!

 Young people, by now you have attained some level of skill in communicating with your parents and this is good. But don’t stop there, if you find yourself in some quandary, take the time to apply your imagination to the situation. As most of us parents know, a creative mind can very easily get itself into much difficulty, but that same creative mind can work real good in getting itself out too.

A young coed had two problems common to many students: poor grades and running low on money. She was finally forced to communicate both to her parents, who she knew would have trouble understanding. After considerable thought on her dilemma she used a creative approach to soften the blows of reality and wrote:

Dearest Mom and Dad,
I know it has been a while since I have dropped you a line and thought it was the right time to let you know what I have been up to these past few weeks. Just thought I'd drop you a note to clue you in on my plans. I've Suddenly and totally unexpectedly fallen in love with a guy named Jim Bruterthorn. He has had somewhat of a rough life but he is really a great guy, reminds me of Uncle Brutus, you remember the one in prison for fraud! Well any ways Jim had to quit high school after grade eleven to get married. About a year ago he got a divorce and left his three kids with his Island-African wife back in Jamaica. We've been going steady for two months and plan to get married in the fall. Until then, I've decided to move into his studio apartment, we want to save money for our up coming event, (I think I might be pregnant). Don’t worry, his X-girl friend is a mid wife! At any rate, I dropped out of school last week, although with your future help, I'd like to finish college sometime in the future. In the meanwhile Jim got me a job at his Tattoo Parlor and is training me on the small stuff. So far he has put his company logo of a serpent eating the American flag on my chest and if you buy the next issue of Tattoo Today, you’ll see me in the middle fold out page, it really is a neat picture. Maybe you want me to buy a few extra issues for Grampa and Gramma, but you might have to send along a few extra bucks if you do. Well got to go now, I hear Jim revving up his Harley and he is not one to be waiting around for silly girls, so say hello to your Sunday School class from us and if you have a chance, call up John and tell him I will be needing those heavy leather pants I loaned him last summer.

On the next page, she continued:
Mom and Dad, I just want you to know that everything I've written so far in this letter is false. NONE of it is true. But Mom and Dad, it IS true that I got a C in German and came pretty darn close to flunking Math. And the greatest truth about this letter is that for sure I'm going to need some more money for my tuition payments. Your Loving Daughter:

Even bad news can sound like good news if it is seen from a certain vantage point. So much in life depends on "where you're coming from" as you face your circumstances. The secret in this case and in yours is perspective.
