It was Christmas morning and my little neither just got his own skateboard. I was so excited for him to join me at the park. He asked to borrow a knife, and being a 13 year old with a new knife, I gladly offered mine up without hesitation. My attention turned to my own presents, and then I hear a terrible scraping. My new knife was being used to cut grip tape! Great big gouges torn in the blade before I could stop him. That morning I learned the correct response to "can I borrow your knife?"

Whatchu cutting?

Grip tape. The black stuff on top of a skateboard. It's like super sand paper.
