 Mail art story
Saturday I take the boy’s to the post office to mail off mom’s envelope. We wait in line for about 5 minutes. We get up to the teller and i tell her that I need to mail this and I need a book of stamps as well.
Teller : OK , It will be 52 cent’s to mail this envelope
Dawn: OK let’s put the stamps on and you cancel them then I will put it in the plastic bag .
Teller : Hold on a minute
Dawn : OK
The teller goes around the corner and comes back.
Teller : You put the stamps here and then put it in the bag so I can cancel the stamps.
Dawn : No, I’ll put the stamps on and then you cancel them then we will put it in the bag.
Teller : Hold on a minute
Teller goes around the corner and comes back
Teller : are you shure you want me to stamp your envelope right on the fabric ? I do not want to mess up your beautiful work.
Dawn : Yes !!!! That is exactly what I want you to do. That is all part of the art work.
With a funny look on her face she agrees and stamps the fabric.
Mom Called me last night ( March - 7 - 2006 ) at about 8 p.m. to tell me she got the card and Thanks and that she loved it.
If you do not see the humer in this I'm soooooo sorry but it was sooooooo funny.
