The reality of the stick is that it is a multifunctional device, highly advanced, and ultra versitile. Every child feels the need have one, and indeed they do. Have you ever met a child who, upon entering the great outdoors, does not pick up the nearest stick around. They are naturally programmed to equip themselves. The "stick" has these functions among litteraly trillions of others:
- Surgical Instruments (It is well known to all little people that most bugs are in poor health and need the care that only a qualified 5 year old can provide. This often means operation.)
- A Sword (Bugbears and Gobblins abound in playgrounds, parks & backyards. One must be ready for an attack at anytime. Can you blame kids for worring? They're practically snack sized.)
- A Gun (You never know when a game of cops & robbers is going to commence. An officer never leaves his weapon at home, or his security blanket.)
- A Wand (A little zap can go a long way. Especially if your sister's got your candy.)
- Investigative Device (Not sure what it is? Grab a stick, if it moves you can chase it. If it just lays there you probably shouldn't eat it.)
- A Baton (The proclivity for involvement in a marching band is strong in a child who chooses this device. Try giving said child comic books, if this does not cure your child, prepare yourself for the high pitch screeching of various instruments in your home for years to come.)
- A Sceptre (For the bossy child who needs a little weight behind their decrees.)
There are more, but if you're interested in finding out... I suggest you go pick up a "stick".
