Quote by Tony Martin
My mother's obsession with the good scissors always scared me a bit. It implied that somewhere in the house there lurked: the evil scissors.
Summary
This quote humorously points out the writer's uneasiness towards their mother's obsession with keeping the "good scissors" separate. It suggests that this emphasis on having a specific pair of scissors reserved for important tasks implies the existence of another pair, presumably lower in quality or reputation, known as the "evil scissors." The quote playfully highlights the irrational fear we sometimes harbor towards mundane objects based on our own imagination and anecdotes.
