DH used my good scissors in his shop one day, I bought THREE of the expensive scissors and one cheaper pair. Believe it or not, he and the kids thought since the one pair was the only one of the kind and the others were alike, the one pair was much better scissors. My sewing room now has a lock on the door so when I'm not in there the room is locked. I have small kids in the house sometimes and I don't want them finding scissors, pins, or rotary cutters.
