Flat Stanley Gets Berkled


dome
A cut out paper boy named Flat Stanley arrived through our mailbox last week. Kids  from Pearson Elementary  were sending away flat Stanley(a  boy who gets flattened by a chalk board and travels in envelopes) away as far as they can.  Recipients are instructed to take flat Stanley around, show him a good time, take a few pictures and send him back with the photos as proof of his supposed adventures. .



C and I initially cooked up very exciting San Francisco adventures for Stan. I first got carried away and planned a lost limb or a black eye, real adventures demand tokens. C said we should send Stan back with an earring and a boyfriend. Since the boyfriend might be controversial, C settled for a black T with a tasteful rainbow logo.   But after thoughtful consideration, we sensibly decided to give Stan a more wholesome trip to Point Reyes and maybe a minor sunburn.
