    Emails with my Mother

    Me: "how come i didn't get a pocket copy of the constitution? i could really use one of those"

    Mom: "You are off topic again. This email communication is about xxx and yyy."

    Me: "i already responded and we feel terrible about that situation. truly.

    why are you avoiding the pocket constitution question? where is my constitution? how come only HottieCoug gets one? someone asked me whether I agreed with the 12th amendment a few days ago and i could only respond, "the constitution has 12 amendments??" It was embarrassing"

    Mom: "If I believed you were sincere and not sarcastic, it would be worth the discussion. You can get your copy online."

    Me:" but i didn't have online access. I did have precisely four pockets (two front; two back). I only needed one constitution. HottieCoug has one. I think we deserve to know why you only gave one to HottieCoug and not the boys."

            That cover is awesome. How can you not take a book like that seriously?

            Did she really send you that?

              Just download the US Constitution app for free. A pocket copy? how gauche.

                If it's any consolation, I believe that copy you show here is the complimentary one given out at the National Archive. Your mother likely regifted that gift to Hottiecoug.

                Nevertheless, I'm willing to spend $1.50 of my own money to end this thread right now by buying you one of these: [ame="http://www.amazon.com/Pocket-Constitution-Text-Bicentennial-Commission/dp/0880801441/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1328841649&sr=8-1"]Amazon.com: Pocket Constitution (Text from the U.S. Bicentennial Commission Edition) (9780880801447): Delegates of the Constitutional Convention: Books@@AMEPARAM@@http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41P4EVvmyVL.@@AMEPARAM@@41P4EVvmyVL[/ame] ... Can you kindly give me your address? TIA.

                  Overseas postage to Brazil would cost more than the book.

                    For a mere $25 donation you can get 5 pocket constitutions from the Heritage Foundation.
