Subject: David Sedaris quote from MTPOD

To: Mom

It often seems that my brother and I were raised in two completely different households. He's eleven years younger than I am, and by the time he reached high school, the rest of us had all left home. When I was young, we weren't allowed to say "shut up," but by the time Paul reached his teens, it had become acceptable to shout, "Shut your motherfucking mouth." The drug laws had changed as well. "No smoking pot" became "No smoking pot in the house," before it finally petered out to "Please don't smoke any pot in the living room."-Me Talk Pretty One Day

Re: David Sedaris quote from MTPOD

To: Me

From: Dad

my mom has been really into forwards lately. in fact, she forwarded me this "chain email" game the other day and even added to it at the bottom. She also sent it to about 15 other people.

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

Date:Mon, 29 Sep 2008 8:33 pm

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!!!

To: me

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?
