Is it? Too harsh? I really don't think so. You know WHY NOT? Because, what I really wanted to say was,
"listen---you two--I have bought you like 2 pairs of scissors A WEEK since the time Colin turned two, and I am SICK TO DEATH of no one ever having scissors around here. And I am SICK TO DEATH of going to MY desk to find A PAIR OF SCISSORS only to have NOTHING in the spot where my scissors are supposed to be. And the next time I can't find my scissors, well, when I DO find them, I'm going to go to your rooms and cut big holes in ALL OF YOUR FAVORITE STUFF so that you'll cry and possibly, for one second, know how frustrating it is to HAVE YOUR STUFF TOUCHED. "
That's what I meant to say. You should be impressed with my restraint.

scissors??? Our kids are old enough to use scissors? I. am.not.overprotective!!! k...i'm gonna go let my kids cut something themselves now...
my favorite part is "love, mommy". seriously.
Admirable restraint. Last summer, my kids took all my scissors outside,cut bamboo with them and then left them out there in the dirt.
my mom did the same thing when we were little.
Well, she doesn't do that anymore!!!!
