Future Hairstylists?

I have told my girls over and over that scissors are for paper only. Whenever, I let them use them they dutifully parrot back to me what I want to hear.....

So...here is how I found my girls yesterday afternoon.....

All the black stuff on the ground is fur from their horse Belly. They were giving him and the dog hair cuts with the scissors. I handled the situation pretty calmly but I could have screamed!
