Clip Clip

Two years ago, I passed Calder the nail clippers. My heart in my mouth, I watched him clip from the mid-point of the nail, clip diagonally instead of across, tear off the remaining piece of nail, push the sharp clipper dangerously close to skin etc. Sometimes I conscientiously followed up with the training, often I just took over because it seemed much easier. One day, he finally got it - the depth and the angle. Now I can pass him the nail clippers and watch at a distance - 3 perfect snips and off the nail flies.
