A sad day for humanity and technology: last Friday, the National Toy Hall of Fame added “Stick” into their inventory of revered toys.
Yes, many of us played with sticks as children . . . but never in the history of civilization has a child uttered “stick” when asked “what do you want for your birthday?”
My favorite childhood “Stick” games:
• “Sharp Stick”
• “Poo Stick”
• ”Roadkill Stick”
• “Poke the Slow Kid”
• “Neanderthal Fight”
• “My Little Sister is Fragile”
• ”Army Men vs. The Giant Stick”
• “Snail Baseball”
• “Snail Hockey”
• “Pole Vault/Head Injury”
• “Is It Dead?”
• “Burn the Witch”
• “I’m Sick of Camping, Can We Go Home Now?”
