And my non-random observation right from when I was young was that boys in general liked sticks, and girls did not. I thought it was merely a gender thing.
Turns out that this was the number one question that intrigued Slate readers too, and am mighty glad that there is an answer as well :)
The question of the year (2010) that Slate's Explainer examines is:
I've always pondered why boys like having sticks. Whether it be walking down a hiking trail with a stick they picked up or running a stick across a white picket fence, boys (including me when I was small) seem to have a knack for having a stick.
