Construction Worker 2: Your crew can get started putting up the Tyvek. It’s pretty much indestructible, so we’ve gotta make sure it’s up before we start siding.
Construction Worker 1: Indestructible you say? Boss, they should make books for babies out if that stuff!
Construction Worker 2: Son, you can take the afternoon off.

That is freaking BRILLIANT! We had been giving my daughter my husband’s old race running numbers (made out of Tyvek) because we didn’t have to worry about her chewing a corner off & gagging (like she does with board books). I am off to order all 3 of these!
