Ross, on the phone with a friend who lives on our road: "Yeah, I can play until four. I'll meet you halfway in the woods with all of my sticks that we'll need." Hanging up, he put on a hat, carefully selected sticks from a pile he had stashed on the porch, and took off for the creek to do whatever it is that eight-year-old boys do in the woods with imported sticks.

Ah, boys. I wouldn't know what do to do if I had one but I'd sure love to find out!
Man, that brings back so many childhood memories. We used to gather sticks and hay bail twine and build the most elaborate forts ... with shutters and doors and even chairs (for our dolls).
We were pioneers, afraid of unfriendly Indians and bears.
Intriguing. It sounds like the beginning of a short story.
