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'd forgotten about this activity! I remember the boys in my elementary school doing this. Can't imagine that ever would happen today....especially the part re: weapons at school. I don't remember anyone getting hurt though.
