My Favorite Pen

PSA

I freak out sometimes. I freak out sometimes quite often.

I freak out about things like my children choking, my children falling and breaking a bone, my children falling and getting a gash - do you see the recurring theme?

If you freak out like I do, please enjoy the following PSA. If you don't freak out like I do, what is wrong with you? Don't you know that there is a risk in everything and education is the best prevention and now the bunny hangs in the butcher shop?

A PSA: Pass the Scissors Appropriately

When passing the scissors, one should always hold the scissors by the (closed!) blade side, rather than the handle side. This is done to ensure that the passer does not stab the receiver or himself/herself should he/she stumble and fall mid-pass. If misfortune would have it that the passer was to, in fact, stumble and fall mid-pass, one would hope that he/she would have the quick wit to toss the scissors. But if he/she did not toss the scissors and reached complete fall with scissors in hand, the hope is that the scissors will only hurt his/her hand and not any other part of the body which, if injured, would lend to more severe complications.



Not only does it protect all parties involved, but because it protects all parties, it also says to the receiver, "I care about you, I care about you enough to risk hurting my hand to pass these scissors to you."



Always Pass the Scissors Appropriately!
