I know we own several dozen scissors, but there’s never one in the drawer that is plainly labeled scissors. So today, while we were having Lauren’s Day of Fun in Lincoln, when we stopped off at Harbor Freight, I bought a 5 pack of them for $3.99. I would tell you how great they are and how they can cut things and stuff, but I can’t find any scissors to open the package.
Oh, and the back was interesting too…

Yay! I always have trouble finding scissors at your house, especially when I’m in the kitchen. Maybe one pair can be artuflly jammed point-first into the drywall by the microwave. Then I could always find it.
Lloyd says
You should have a scissor holster that you wear on your belt. You could learn to do fancy tricks with it like twirl it around and draw it out really quick and cut things.

You have found a surefire way to ensure Brad never visits. The most confiscated item at airport security is scissors. On the other side, it Brad got a job with TSA he would never want for scissors again. (Nightmares about cavity searches may not be worth bring supplies from work home.)
Peggy says
HA! That does sound really fun doesn’t it?
Peggy says
HA! That sounds really fun though…I may do it!
Lauren's mom says
Isn’t it something that you can no longer function in the kitchen without a pair of scissors! “Back in the olden days” that wasn’t true.
Lauren's dad says
Can’t you go to Harbor Freight and buy a needed pair of scissors? BTW, what is “scissor tipe?”
Lauren says
You’re encouraging Brad to go to Harbor Freight, right? That will be a real challenge, since he hates to shop. 🙂 Ha! I almost said it with a straight face!
“Scissor tipe” is a terrible, terrible medical condition. I believe PBS does a telethon for it every year.
Lauren says
So, Lloyd, now we’re calling ‘doing errands’ ‘Lauren’s Day of Fun’? Will we call ‘grocery shopping’ ‘going to Disneyland’?
Annette says
HA!
Peggy says
HAHA!
Kristi says
Love the title of the post! Ha!
Peggy says
What is it with scissors that they can never be found… in every household it seems? This is what I do now…I use the kitchen scissors that came with that big block of knives. I never use them for food, and I always know where they are. No one else in my house would think to use them so they’re mine….all mine….MUAAAAHHHH!
Peggy says
Hey, why aren’t my comments posting?
Amy says
This is great! I need to find some cheap scissors for work… 🙂
I’ll have to start wearing safety goggles more often!
Lloyd's Mom says
Enjoy your scissors until they get lost again. If everything were plainly labeled in this house it might fall in from shock!
