Stick Did It

Ann tells the story of a young Mike blaming some backyard damage on a stick... a stick which, when he uttered the infamous words "stick did it", he did not bother to mention was in his hands when the stick did it.

A generation later, Kara and Braden are infatuated with the sticks and stones they find in Wimberley.  I find them laying around everywhere after their visits, often inside the house where they must figure such treasures belong.  Luckily we have a third attraction, our small pond, which gives them the opportunity to discharge the sticks and stone harmlessly into it.  Which they can easily do for hours on end.

I suppose sooner or later they'll break something with their toys of creative destruction.  I'm not sure whether I'll be upset or just ask them if it was the stick that did it.
