Wife was with the kids at the mall the other day, bought them some cinnamon sugar pretzel bite things at one of the kiosks in the middle of the aisle, served in a cup. She dumps half of them into an empty cup, but realizes they're hard to grab in the bottom with excess cup sticking up in the way. Reaches in her purse, grabs some spring assisted Kershaw I'd picked up for cheap (not a small one either), and proceeds to one hand flick open it up to cut the top of the cups off. Some 14 year old kids standing next in line evidently aren't used to seeing a 40 year old woman whipping out a knife and springing it in to action, she said their eyes got as big as saucers as they stepped back..
That's funny.
I've noticed that knives are tools that are not socially acceptable in today's genteel culture..
Masculine dads in the same house are getting rarer.
Schools forbid what we boys used to carry daily.
It's good to hear of a woman with the right tool for the occasion. Children need to see that more often.
