My Very First Stick

Not That Mike The Other Mike

I remember that brisk fall day when Dad took me aside and gave my own stick. Not one of those Fisher-Price toy sticks, mind you, but a real stick with some heft to it. “Now, you take good care of this,” he said, “It’s been in the family for generations. My pappy fetched it, and his pappy before him fetched it. Now I think you’re ready to fetch it.”

Don’t tell Mom, though. She’s afraid you’ll put your eye out. (Reddit)

Puppy looks so proud, Andrew Y.

    This is a wonderful, heart-warming story. This could have been on the cover of The Saturday Evening Post, if anyone remembers that.
