my 15 year old daughter took my Orange Handled Fiskers ~the big pair~ to cut paper with..she doesn't understand why I'm upset. Can some of you help me explain to her so she doesn't think I'm just "freaking out" for nothing... Grrr!
There are 15 pair of scissors around here marked with a sharpie in big letters PAPER.

Do you have any scissors specifically for paper?
If so, then you can explode.
If not, break down and buy yourself another pair of fabric scissors.
HOWEVER - if she took the scissors from YOUR area without permission, I would be perturbed at her - daughter or not!

The cutting of paper will dull the blades leaving them unusable for cutting of fabric that requires a sharper blade.
Find your paper scissors and give her some scraps to cut and she will see the difference. Everyone has to learn, no one at my house would dare use fabric scissors to cut paper. DH actually came trained on that idea from his Mother and I know I have been taught from a small child that this is a NEVER.
