In Which Yarn Gets Left Behind

Me: Rose, have you packed your carryon bag for the airplane?

R: Yes.

Me: What did you pack?

R: I have a couple of books, a pencil box with pens and pencils, a clipboard so I have something hard to draw on, some paper, and my journal. I also packed some yarn and a pair of scissors in case I wanted to make anything yarn-y.

Me: Um, sweetie, you can't pack scissors in your carryon bag.

R: Oh, is it considered a weapon?

Me: Yes, it is.

R: All right. Well, then, I may as well take the yarn out, too. If I don't have the scissors, I can't use the yarn. I can't just chew the ends.

Me: Probably not.

R: No, I really can't. I've tried it before.
