If you look at the first lot of pictures, the boys decided to amuse themselves by seeing how many straws they could fit together....which became "how many straws can we fit together and still drink through" and "how many straws can we fit together and balance on our heads", "how any straws can we twirl round on our heads before they fall off" etc.......the longer the string of straws the more they wavered about and eventually fell over.....
