As a child, we didn’t have “good china,” we had “don’t touch those scissors, they’re for fabric only.”

My ex-wife had a pair of those scissors.

Touching the good fabric scissors was immediate death.

Yes, I have one pair of Fiker scissors that I actually wrote on them with a sharpie “fabric only”. I have another pair of really nice ones that I keep hidden away and only I know where they are.

We had both "you'd better not be using my fabric shears" and "are those my good kitchen scissors?"

Holy crap! I just heard my mother’s voice!! You didn’t dare touch her Fiskars!! Even when she wasn’t around. Fun fact: I have 2 pair that I hide from my husband. He may have worked on jet engines in the Air Force & was a skilled welder when he got out. But he still can’t touch my fabric scissors.
