Can you see me smiling?
My dear friend Jen is half-way around the world right now, vacationing in Greece and guess what’s riding along, beachside with her? Yup. A copy of Slivers!
I don’t know if you remember Flat Stanley, the sweet cut-out character beloved by elementary school littles. Our Delaney had a Flat Stanley, and he traveled the world, racking up more than a few frequent flyer miles. But only after some serious negotiations. When the assignment popped up in third grade, our young miss declared her strong dislike for the “Stanley-ness” of the task. Delaney wanted to know why her project couldn’t be a “Flat Stephanie”. Oy. That might’ve been the first inkling of her debate acumen, a skill she still possesses. God gave her a triple dose of holding her own and I don’t mind. Now. But I think her teachers may have thought otherwise.
Flat Stanley, err…Stephanie…came to mind yesterday when Jen sent the pic of Slivers on the beach. In Greece. My mind raced. I wondered where other copies of Slivers may have traveled. So much fun!
Jen is 1000% on board with my sharing, but I’m still working on sidelining my concerns. I’ve never been to Greece and my mind’s a whirr, wondering what sort of trouble the meddlesome slivers might conjure, on the loose a few thousand miles away.
Jen will keep me posted, I’m sure. Think good thoughts for her, will you?
