I
heard that familiar “clanging” in the neighbourhood today and got so excited! The
knife sharpener! I flagged him down. When he pulled up, I asked him if he was
the ice cream truck. He said, no, it’s too
cold for ice cream! I asked him if he would sharpen my scissors. He said he
would. I got three pairs of scissors sharpened! I like the old-fashioned charm
of a knife sharpener. We still also get the ice cream truck coming through our ’hood.
Pretty cool, really. Do they still have knife sharpeners coming around your
neighbourhood?
Yes, we still have the knife sharpener come around our neighbourhood in the summer. Yes, the bell clanging alerts us to his arrival. However, the husband won't let me have any utensils sharpened! He claims they do a terrible job, so he does the sharpening instead.
