Flat Stanley Crisis

April 8, 2011 at 6:23 am (Uncategorized)

This is an actual e-mail that I sent to James’s first grade teacher yesterday.

Dear Mr. Starr,

I hate to say this, but somehow Flat Stanley went MIA. James took such care to
cut him out yesterday. Flat Stanley had a minor mishap when Matthew was taunting
his brother and wrinkled him, but he survived the incident only to mysteriously
disappear later. He was last seen on the kitchen table and has not been located
since, despite our best efforts. Matthew is a suspect but he claims he is
innocent.

Can we make a makeshift Flat Stanley, or can we get another copy to color and
cut out?

Thanks,
Maureen Van Glabbeek

    Flat Stanley meets lots of mishaps along the way. He was my nemesis when I taught 2nd grade.

    Jill – our niece sent one to us a couple of years ago. Not only did he lose an eyeball, but Wim spilled Amstel Light on him. He had a good adventure at the Van Glabbeek household :)
