That’s what I tell my kids when I give them scissors. That is what I have said hundreds of times. “Here you go kids but, remember, these scissors only cut paper.”
So, J has heard it a hundred times too. He was watching the kids while they were busy cutting. They managed to cut something other than the paper (hair, clothes… neither of us can remember what it was).
When I got back I accusingly asked, “Why did you let them cut something other than paper?”
J’s answer? “I thought these scissors only cut paper!”
J is sticking to his story on this one. He claims that there really are childproof scissors that only cut paper. He even has friends who he paid to will agree with him. He also claims that he just might have to start his own blog to refute mine. I wouldn’t want to report anything false so I googled ‘kid proof scissors’ to see if I could find any scissors that truly only cut paper.
After much research, I finally found Westcott Kid Proof Scissors
“Nylon scissors cuts paper only. Does not conduct electricity or cut fingers, hair or fabric. 5″ Blunt.”
So, J wins this one. There are scissors out there that only cut paper. Just not ours.

My kids cut paper with my kitchen shearers the other day. I was NOT happy!
