Mom, Can We Take it Home?

OK, so I found this stick today while carrying out my normal morning stick-carrying duties.  I think it would be a brilliant part of my permanent collection (that I am currently building).  Mama didn’t seem convinced, so I laid down.  Still no dice.  Well at least I can visit it each day in the park…

You only have two.  I have three. …
