Sticks

With great effort to prevent the need for an eye patch, parenting Jalen means saying "put down that stick please" at least two times every outing where sticks are present.  If Jalen had his way he'd be holding one at all times. Running, jumping, swinging. Eating, bathing, sleeping.  Corralling and clubbing bad guys. The kid loves sticks.

... and he'd probably think the eye patch was cool.
