Thanks for your support. I asked him, "Do I need to tape them to the ceiling?" My daughter told me that she never hides her scissors, and that she doesn't plan to.
My granddaughter is home schooled, because she is disruptive in class. The first thing she did in pre-school when it came time to finger paint was to tell the other children that if they mixed the colors together, they would get more colors, so the kids didn't want to make pictures, they wanted to make colors. That stunk. Then she didn't want to participate in the class; she said that she was bored and that she wanted to go read, and we don't have a gifted program here. I keep telling my son that she needs kids to play with, but he has other ideas.
Anyway, intelligence and knowledge is worthless if you're too neurotic to use it. Ask me. I know about that.

First of all, if son knows that you are not really yourself these days, he should have "child-proofed" FOR you before dropping his child off. Secondly, a kid as smart as that will find them if she's looking, no matter WHERE you hide them...
