And if my friend’s grandmother chose this gift, it was undoubtedly not by chance. Perhaps she had used this type of scissors herself, many years before. Perhaps she wanted to offer something more than a practical object: a gesture that can be passed on, a meaningful intention.
A discreet link between generations
Today, this pair of scissors rests on a shelf, waiting for the child to be old enough to use it. But it’s not a trivial object: it’s a little family treasure, ready to find its purpose again at the right time.
A bit like a book we take out to read aloud, these scissors are the promise of a shared moment. Of learning together, where we support each other, try things out, start again, and progress. Together.
In conclusion: a simple object, immense significance
These four-holed scissors remind us that certain everyday objects can carry a much deeper meaning than they seem. They evoke learning, intergenerational bonds, and the beauty of shared gestures.
And you? Do you have an object at home that has been passed down, found, or given to someone else, whose value far exceeds its original purpose? If so, perhaps it’s time to give it new life.
