In Jamie&#8217;s garage, sitting on top of his dad&#8217;s workbench. What could go wrong there? Heavy tools, sharp tools, knives. Sounds like a great idea to me. For some reason, Jamie was holding one of his dad&#8217;s razor blades. Yeah. To this day, I have no idea why he would be wielding that thing.

And as he made that move, his hand came scrapping across my right leg. The razor blade got me. I saw blood. It wasn&#8217;t gushing, but it wasn&#8217;t a surface wound either. I told Jamie, &#8220;Oh my God, you cut me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/divi:paragraph --><!-- divi:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>Scared to be punished by his dad, he asked me not to tell on him.
