nail clippers

[Guest guest]

, I should have bought stock in nail care products years ago. When my kids were all home, there was like a Bermuda Triangle for nail clippers. Every once in awhile I'd put a plastic bag over my hand & go fishing down in the couch cushions (tried it once without covering my hand; I couldn't even identify some of the gross stuff down there.) I would usually retrieve a couple of clippers, some Cheetoes, tweezers, etc. Once I chained a pair of clippers to the bathroom sink, so I could always find them. I caught my older daughter in there one day trying to pry the chain apart with plyers! Don't you just love the creativity of kids? Anyway, my son Brad was the worst one. And even in college I was cutting his toenails because he had gotten an ingrown nail once, so he wouldn't do it anymore. I finally gave him a good pair of toe nail clippers & a short training session & sent him on his way. But he was always losing clippers & coming to my house to cut his toe nails! So about 10 years I began the tradition of putting toenail clippers in his stocking every year. One year I had bought them, but forgot to put them in, and he was really disappointed. He thought I forgot! See how precious these family traditions are! Now I have nail clippers in my purse, my car, my bedside stand, the bathroom & hidden in my sock drawer. Don't tell my neurologist; he might think I'm nuts.
