Please explain the flat Stanley thing. I never quite understood the concept.
my understanding of "flat stanley" is that he is flat (so he fits in an envelope) and he gets sent off to relatives/friends and they take him around with them for a week and write a little journal for his adventures.
for example: my cousin's 3rd grader sent flat stanley to my granny and she sent him off with my mom on a tour of washington dc. My mom took pictures of him at the capitol, some random museums, etc and then my granny wrote all about it.
of course, I have so many elves, I could send one of them in a box around the country and people could take him around with them and take pictures. (kind of like the travelocity gnome?)
it would also drive my dd (who will be 16 in may) nuts which is always a good reason to do anything
