Dear Mother 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 burnt-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 colour 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.

Wel, ons het gesê ons wil humor van alle kante bekyk en hierdie is seker maar 'n
voorbeeld van 'n snaakse storie wat al te lank oorvertel is en nou skielik in
die verkeerde konteks geplaas word en heeltemaal lelik word ipv snaaks.
Nie dat ek nou graag sulke tipe platgevalle humor wil bestudeer nie - ek kan
regtig in my lewe daarsonder klaarkom.
Is maar soos ek voortdurend vir my twee seuns leer: snaaks kom vanself - as jy
snaaks maak, dan's dit lelik....
