A LETTER FROM MY MOM TO...ALL OF YOU!

Subject: Obama Supporters Only

jolie,

like we were talking about, you could tell all your friends who support obama that they are not supporting obama at all if they don't actually vote on november 4th. you could tell them what the consequences will be if obama doesn't win. regarding a woman's right to choose; regarding universal health care; regarding our country's world-wide reputation; regarding war; regarding peace.

like i said, without taking the steps to register to vote, or without obtaining and submitting an absentee ballot if necessary, you are in reality supporting mccain.

THIS IS YOUR FUTURE. STAND UP. GET THAT ABSENTEE BALLOT IN. REGISTER TO VOTE. VOTE ON NOVEMBER 4TH.

love,
mom

In the past week...

These were mostly written in bold CAPS and in HUGE font...

From: Mom
To: the kids

so, are we all progressing nicely re absentee ballots and voter registration?

just so you know, if obama loses and i find out you didn't vote, you're out of my will.

LOVE ya.

mom


From: Mom
Subject: having computer problems. PLEASE READ THIS RE OBAMA

it is important that you all get absentee ballots, or register to vote in your new town, whichever applies to you.

you are not supporting obama if you don't vote for him on november 4th.

this is IMPORTANT. THE STAKES ARE HIGH.

mom.

Subject: Orson's checkbook

hi. in cleaning out stuff, i found a pad of checks belonging to orson. can one of you contact him and ask him what he wants me to do with them. you can tell him they are checks #163 to #175. there is also a partially completed check #157 made payable to jolie. all the other checks are blank, so what do you say we buy ourselves some pottery or a speedy-whatever-number.

so really, ask orson what he wants me to do. we have a shredder here; i can just shred them all, or mail them to him.

no mom, i don't go commando!!!

thanks. by the way (i mean btw), i was putting some of your clean underwear away and discovered a whole drawful in there that you left behind. what's up with that? was that on purpose? you DO usually wear underwear, right?

MY MOM THROWS OUT THE SLUTTY WHITE SHORTS! AND COMPARES HER DECISION TO SOPHIE'S CHOICE

Subject: sluttywhiteshorts
From: Mom
To: Me

i cannot tell a lie: kallie threw out the sluttywhiteshorts.

just kidding. i did. but, listen. think of the anguish and torment i went through before i did it. it was my own personal sophie's choice:

i had to temporarily lie to my daughter (and you KNOW i'm a big fan of truth), or else risk having something bad happen to her because she wouldn't stop wearing slutttywhiteshorts.

can you ever forgive me?

mom.
