I walked home from class thinking about the project we are devising for y'all for next Thursday.

It made me think of my nephew, whom I wrote about in an earlier post--he had Asperger's and was so weird and silly and awesome. He used to quiz my dad on say, apostles, or geological eras and then my dad would fail and Matthew would say, "It's okay Grandpa, you can study and I'll let you take it again."

At any rate, he had this project at school called Flat Stanley, which a lot of elementary schools are doing in recent years. You mail this drawing of this cartoon guy, Flat Stanley, to your grandparents and whoever will participate and they mail back postcards of where Flat Stanley has been. Matthew's class brainstormed where they would go, that they couldn't normally go, if they were Flat Stanley. Matthew said he'd go in people's pants. Which, okay, could be a little creepy and resulted in some further conversation, but it's also pretty honest and hilarious.

It occurred to me today that we are all spending alot of time (and money, too, I guess) getting into people's pants this semester. We are Flat Stanley!
