Pick-a-nicking

Papa used to go to the store and buy us snacks. But he would not buy a candy bar for each person instead he would buy one (1) or two (2) candy bars and cut it into enough pieces for everyone to have some. He called it pick-a-nicking. One interesting thing about this was that he would not use a knife from Tudy's kitchen but his pocket knife. He would clean it off and slice the candy bars. I think it made the candy taste even better. He would usually get a Milky Way and Snickers bar.
