A couple weeks ago my nephew, Adam, sent me his friend, Flat Stanley, in the mail. He asked me to take Flat Stanley on an adventure of some sort.
As life would have it, two weeks ago was very busy and Flat Stanley didn’t get to go on any adventures with us.
But that didn’t keep him down. Being flat, he made an adventure of his own. This morning we heard some noise on our back patio and discovered he had slipped out under the door and was climbing our ivy-covered fence. He must have been trying to escape and see more of Budapest.
We brought him back inside and decided it would be best to send him back home before he got into anymore unsupervised escapades. So today he started his journey back to St. Louis, Missouri inside another envelope.
To my surprise, when I got into the office later today I noticed something odd about a picture I took last week at our conference. Flat Stanley must have snuck out of the house last week and followed me there. Sure enough, here he is, along with the other people who came from 25 different countries. No one realized we had such a special guest among us.
I wonder where else Flat Stanley went while he was here…..
