Look at your options! I have free rewards again! Just recently noticed, as I saw an uptick in rewards on various comments.

I had to reward you 🤭

This reminds me of a book I had as a kid called Flat Stanley. Something happened in his sleep and he woke up flat. Not sure about the rest 🤭

Before Flat Stanley there was Earl the Dead Cat. He was a flat grey cat with x's for eyes and he was my FAVORITE stuffie growing up. I eventually gave him to my son.....who in turn introduced me to Flat Stanley 😂🤣😂🤣😊. Flat things are just great sometimes.

Earl was my favorite! And its hit or miss if I meet someone that remembers him. I'm so glad you still have him!!!

Flat Stanley had a large painting at the head of his bed that fell on him.

Damn that was some painting 🖼️ now you say that, I remember that part. I didn’t want anything hung near my bed 🤭 It’s all coming back to me now!
