I mean, people are out here going to Walmart and buying a bundle of short (only three feet tall!) bamboo stakes shipped all the way from Asia, and paying a buck and a half apiece.
No ma'am, I can do better. I got 30 hard reeds in twenty minutes averaging about seven feet long. All it cost me was the gas to drive my old beater car about four miles round trip.

What was one of the the things-to-have when you were a kid? Did you have that thing? Or did you find a creative way to make do with something similar? How did that work out for you, and how did you feel about it, either way? I'd love to hear those stories, if you're willing to share!

This memory comic is speed-sketched on the back of an index card. I have a little box of memory fragments like this so they're all in one place, in case any of them fit into something larger later on.
So what was the thing-to-have way-back-when, and what was your relationship to it? I wanna know! ❤😺❤
