For just a second.
And this memory is so incredibly trivial I'm not surprised I'd forgotten it entirely - really, I'm more surprised I remember it at all!
I had brought home a trip slip to my parents which either had the words "tear here" at the bottom and my father insisted on cutting with scissors or, less likely but still plausible, it had the image of scissors and my father ripped it.
Either way, I was extremely upset that the instructions were not being properly followed.
Not that my teacher knew or cared. She only wanted the signature and, if there was one, the fee.
I have opened countless things and cut countless pieces of paper since then, and yet it suddenly popped into my brain yesterday?
The human mind is a strange and marvelous thing. Never doubt it.
