Ooops!
I seem to have misplaced my Xacto knife. Has anyone seen it? I only mention this because a six and three year old here like to pick up my tools and play with them. I was opening the excessive packaging of a toy and must have set it down in the "wrong" place. Given the choice between my children slicing their soft skin to bloody ribbons and it having been accidentally thrown away in the Xmas mess, I would prefer the latter. Although, I have had that knife since I was in high school. Perhaps a less painful compromise can be reached.
PS I have now located AN Xacto knife, but I'm not sure if that was the one that was missing. I left the missing one on the kitchen counter yesterday and my kleptomaniac mother-in-law may have absconded with it. She may have put it in the garage in the tool cabinet where I found it, or, perhaps I did, absent-mindedly. Unless that one was already there? See, I usually keep two Xacto knives at home and one in my office. So, even if yesterday's missing knife has been found there is still another one out there. Now do you understand my dilemma?
