Playing with canvass covered sneakers or sandals often required a trip to the doctor for a stitch or two when the knife was errantly thrown. Does anyone really think fidget spinners are really a threat ? Note I used the word " him ". The girls didn't play.
I knew girls in Reno, Nevada who would play that. And the stitches I have are not on my feet.
