Why can't I cut my baby's fingernails???
The first time daddy tried, he snipped the corner of the very last nail. Her face contorted into the most frightening mask of hurt and betrayal, then she let forth a wail the likes of which I'd never heard before. I had even less success on my first attempt. The whole traumatic experience has left us both unwilling to repeat it, so now we both put up with scratch marks on our faces (she's now grabbing everything within reach) and actively avoiding the issue. Shamefully, we've even had family members offering to do it for us. We have, of course, politely refused, saying that it's on our list of things to do later today.
Just one more cup of tea, then I'll do it. Promise.
