Wrapping up holiday gifts, they realize that they left the scissors in the other room.

Not wanting to get up, they instead ask one of their young kids to go get it.

“...it’s in the drawer to the left…”

After a few seconds, the child running in as fast as they can with the pair of scissors up blade first.

The parent understandably being horrified with all this, admonished the child.

“Don’t run with scissors…

...now hand me them with the handle first.”

The child spoke up:

“What can you do with the handle?”
