62: Erudition
In the sun-soaked season between mandatory and optional academies, I vended culinary utensils from a register. I couldn't entice individuals to acquire a slew, but I did inculcate in myself that these were the most superb blades at any fee. I did lure my matriarch to solicit a pocketknife for my sire’s natal day. It touched down by dispatch; the parcel existed in the automobile as my maternal figure chauffeured me to the aerodrome for an ecclesiastical proselytism excursion. In the sojourner throne I unfastened the dagger to evidence the fail-safe contrivance, and in the undertaking I lacerated my manual extremity. The subsequent solstice-season I peddled confections from upstage of a commercial furnishing.
