Money may not be everything, but it sure keeps the kids writing to parents! One college kid wrote home, "Dear folks, I've been worried sick because I haven't heard from you. Please send me a check so I'll know you're okay."
And...another college student wrote a letter home: "Dear folks, I
feel miserable because I have to keep writing for money. I feel ashamed
and unhappy. I have to ask for another hundred, but every cell in my
body rebels. I beg on bended knee that you forgive me. Your son,
Marvin.
P.S....I felt so terrible I ran after the mailman who picked
this up in the box at the corner. I wanted to take this letter and burn
it. I prayed to God that I could get it back. But I was too late."
A few days later he received a letter from his father. It said,
"Your prayers were answered. Your letter never came!"
And this request was by phone: A college student calls up his
parents. "I need another two hundred dollars."
At the other end, his father says, "I can't hear you."
The boy SHOUTS, "Two hundred. I need two hundred!"
"I can't hear you."
The operator cuts in, "I can hear him."
The father says, "Good. YOU send him the money!"
A is for academics,
B is for beer.
One of those reasons is why we're not here.
So leave a message.
Hi. This is John. If you are the phone company, I already sent the money. If you are my parents, please send money. If you are my financial aid institution, you didn't lend me enough money. If you are my friends, you owe me money. If you are a female, don't worry, I have plenty of money.
Hi. I'm probably home, I'm just avoiding someone I don't like.
Leave me a message, and if I don't call back, it's you.
