PAPER CUBES

AS A DIVERSION IN MATH CLASS, I USED TO MAKE CUBES OUT
OF PAPER THAT WOULD BE FOLDED IN SUCH A WAY AS THE FOUR
SIDES WOULD BE FLEXIBLE, REMOVABLE, AND THAT COULD BE
LIFTED UP TO REVEAL MORE SIDES. ON THE DIFFERENT SIDES
OF THE CUBE, MY FRIENDS AND I WOULD WRITE SUCH TERMS OF
ENDEARMENT AS "YOU STINK," AND "YOU ARE SECRETLY IN
LOVE WITH SO-AND-SO." (A FELLOW CLASSMATE) THEN WE
WOULD ENCOURAGE SOMEONE TO PICK A NUMBER, AND WE WOULD
COUNT IT OFF UNTIL THE PERSON LANDED ON THE SQUARE
MARKED, FOR INSTANCE, "YOU STINK." I HAVE FORGOTTEN
HOW TO MAKE THESE CUBES AND HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO FIND
SOMEONE WHO KNOWS.
