I always liked the kids that didn’t quite fit in! I also wanted to tell you that I had to “unfollow” and the “follow” you again…I don’t know what’s up with WP, but you and a few others just weren’t appearing in my reader. Just in case you begin to miss a few people…thought I’d let you know! I was sorry to miss you yesterday! Debra
Poor Stanley. He’s oblivious to what awaits him, but who knows? Maybe there’ll be pond by the outfield. Very funny, Carl. I like how it’s seasonal, just in time for summer.
Hey, Stanley’s mom is just trying to prepare him for when those lunch bags are empty. Everyone will be lining up to be Stan’s friend when those stomachs begin rumbling.

Maybe he’s just very uncoordinated at ball hitting sports so fishing is more his thing.
