Well don’t leave them where they are accessible in cutting things that aren’t fabric.
Or maybe keep them with your fabric things.
Or maybe get a whetstone like your grandma did, grandma

Consumer grade whetstones are completely unsuitable for maintaining fabric shears. Maintaining a consistent bevel on stones that coarse is damn near impossible, and you’re most likely going to ruin the mate between the cutting faces beyond repair.
(“well I sharpened mine with an unoiled chunk of arkansas asphalt and they cut even better now”: no you didnt, you’re cutting with the burr, it won’t last, I hate you.)
