She asked what do I deserve.
But the only answer she got was nothing.
So she asked again.
And then it came to her.
But a 7 year old doesn't need razors.
And her mother only shaved once a year so her stuff was locked in the cabinet.
A 7 year old hasn't got the opportunity to get a blade.
Or at least they don't see the world as opportunities to get one.
And the knives were locked in the draw because of her younger brothers.
You don't leave a knife where two 5 year olds can get it in case of an accident.
Her brothers didn't want an 'accident'.
But she wanted one.
