Good morning everyone: Bernie here: yes, I'm a wuss. Call me a wuss. I have always hired somebody to come and clip my kids nails when they were little if Bill was not around. Yes, I'm terribly afraid to do that myself. But now the children are old enough that they can clip their own. My daughter bites hers. You think she must've gotten this from my mother-in-law. My mother-in-law does the same thing. She always used to bite the kids nails. Somehow that just turns my stomach. That's all I can say for that. Have a great day exclamation exclamation
