Re-paired clauses
It was the summer between high school and college. I sold kitchen knives from a catalog, but I couldn’t convince people to buy much. I did convince myself these were the best knives at any price, and I did get my mom to order a jackknife. It was for my dad’s birthday; it came in the mail and sat in the car. My mom drove me to the airport for a church missions trip, and in the passenger seat I opened up the knife to demonstrate the safety mechanism. In the attempt I sliced open my palm, and the next summer I sold donuts from behind a counter.
