There are Fathers and…there are “Fathers”.

…In the evening of that fateful day and after getting off from her job, Mary Miller came home to see a note left by her baby daddy. In the note, Dennis Turner announced that he had left town because he could no longer cope with the hassles of taking care of five kids.

   Worse, he stated further, there were also three other kids by three other different women who were making life difficult for him.

   And then Mary Miller read the concluding part of the note.

“Baby, I’m so sorry it has to end this way but…damn it…I just can’t go on like this no more…F@#$, I’m only twenty three years old and I gotta take care of eight kids? So baby, I’m outta here and outta of town…never to return to this bullshit. But guess what…maybe I’ll return if one of those kids turns out to be another Alicia Keys or Jamie Foxx in future…you never know…”
