Why Stickers Are Powerful Magic: The Argument for “Magical, Ephemeral Badges”

Abstract

My sister runs half-marathons and marathons and will likely train for an ultra-marathon one day. (They might as well call it a super-duper-whoop-de-doop-doop-you-could-never-do-this marathon of the master overlords!)

When I asked her before her first big race if she was going to get one of those incredibly annoying “26.2” stickers and put it on her car, she answered something along the lines of, “A thousand and ten percent I will, and just watch me fill up my entire back window with them, you weakling.”
