Welcome to the ``Flat Daddy" and ``Flat Mommy" phenomenon, in which life-size cutouts of deployed service members are given by the Maine National Guard to spouses, children, and relatives back home.
The Flat Daddies ride in cars, sit at the dinner table, visit the dentist, and even are brought to confession, according to their significant others on the home front.
``I prop him up in a chair, or sometimes put him on the couch and cover him up with a blanket," said Kay Judkins of Caribou, whose husband, Jim, is a minesweeper mechanic in Afghanistan. ``The cat will curl up on the blanket, and it looks kind of weird. I've tricked several people by that. They think he's home again."
At the request of relatives, about 200 Flat Daddy and Flat Mommy photos have been enlarged and printed at the state National Guard headquarters in Augusta. The families cut out the photos, which show the Guard members from the waist up, and glue them to a $2 piece of foam board.

THINK OF THE USES FOR THIS, INSTEAD OF HAVING MORE KIDS - FLAT KIDS, I WANT TO PLAY GOLF AND THE WIFE WANTS TO TALK, ANYTIME YOU NEED TO BE TWO PLACES AT ONCE!

This just seems to weird to me! The only good thing I can think of is maybe putting them in your car so you can drive in the HOV lane!
