Sew A Patch On This Marriage

I’ve recently picked up embroidery. I have a hard time using my full-sized scissors on the thread, so I look for my small ones and find them in the spare room. My wife was using them to trim her plants. If you sew, you know what my reaction is! Thankfully, they are low-quality anyway, so I just talk to my wife about not breaking my stuff and move on.

A few days later, I am embroidering and my wife comes up to me.

Wife: “I need to rearrange the zip ties in the mouse cage. Can I use your scissors? They’re the only ones we have that are the right size.”

Me: “You used my sewing scissors to cut zip ties? Seriously? Fine, just make sure you don’t use the ones I’ll be buying soon.”

I hand them to her since they’re already broken.

Wife: “Yeah. Oh, is that why they’ve gotten dull?”
