All afternoon, the boys stacked cups. Over and over. They are in training for some kind of speed contest at school. One boy even got in trouble tonight at bedtime for sneaking cups up to his room. To practice some more.
So on your Christmas list, I recommend adding these. And they don’t even make a beeping noise.
What a great idea! I am always amazed by what entertains kids. Especially boys.
I always am fascinated at the obsessions of boys, and to what lengths they will go to inform and exercise their passion. With security and space, genius emerges.
It’s a real sport.
Yes, speed stacks. I saw these the first time on Friday. I said to the man who was demonstrating it, “That looks like it started out as a drinking game.” (I was recalling my college days…) He replied, “No, it started out as a competition at a church youth group.” Whoops. (He was Southern Baptist.) Whatever.
But a bag of plastic cups from the grocery store is a lot cheaper than the “speed stacks.”
