Flat Daddies (and Mommies, Too)

Behold, a whole new concept in creepy. Does the three-year-old in the photo look merely traumatized, or are we all bearing witness to him becoming a sociopath? (and hello, did you read the whole thing and get to the woman who brought a piece of cardboard to confession? and says it had "private" things to confess? It ain't just the soliders who are having trouble with this war, folks.)

I absolutely fail to see how dragging around a cardboard cutout that looks like one's beloved could help one feel better. Although it's tempting to make a Flat Robbie and bring a cardboard cutout of my brother to events where I know I'll see the real brother. In fact, all our mutual friends should do this, too. (I also think I could make millions selling Flat Nannies, to sub in for real babysitters, and Flat Ponies, for all the little girls who don't get ponies for their birthdays.)

Thank you Jill, I now know what I want for Christmas this year. Flat Brent. I wonder if they make a laminated version to protect from the hot and heavy makeout sessions I will undoubtedly want to have...
