The Object Pictured in the Shoddy Camera Phone Picture is a One Pound Slab of Butter
Psst…Stark Raving Dads. New Post. You know you want to.
We rose from dinner, boys running outside to indulge in the last of the fleeting sunlight, baby off to play. Once the evening tea was brewed, a few minutes of quiet fell over the house. Beds waited to be turned, dishes waited to be washed, but even I could not resist the cool evening air, the still of twilight, the crisp night air of spring.
I stepped out on my deck, tea in hand, and soaked in the first moments of peace the day saw fit to bring. It’s a good thing the baby can find things to keep herself occupied.

I knew you’d like that!

PG’s last blog post..It’s Heeeeeeeere! (111/365)
You too, huh? Our poor arteries.
Salted or unsalted?
Xbox4NappyRash’s last blog post..A warning to the txt generation
- ALWAYS salted. What kind of question is THAT, dude?
oh.
my.
word.
BUTTER??????
/me shudders in fear.
-You got something AGAINST butter, Ender? Thems be fightin’ words, yo.
Well at least that will be easier to get out of her hair…
Kelley’s last blog post..outed
- And ensures that she will bake up nice and juicy. Not that I advocate eating children or anything. Just sayin’.
Um. Ew. Like my brother eating mayonnaise out of the jar with a tablespoon.
Ree’s last blog post..‘Cause you got me, and baby I got you
- Thanks for making me HURL at 6 in the morning, sister. My mother, get this, ate mayonnaise and peanut butter sandwiches on whole wheat bread. Ewww, I can still SMELL it. *gag*
It’s better than eating boogers. Just sayin’.
Momo Fali’s last blog post..Oprah Cliffs Notes IV
- Both are salty. Same difference, yo. :)
Peanut Butter “and” mayonnaise? ACK! Peace, Mike.
- I just threw up. AGAIN. It’s really the worst smell and visual in the whole world. I have to think about something else now.
At least it’s real butter and not that plasticky margarine shit.
Andrea’s last blog post..This Sh*t is Bananas, B-A-N-A-N-A-S
- N.E.V.E.R. in this house.
My kids do that too!!!
rachel’s last blog post..Under Her Umbrella
- Because they are fine children with discriminating taste, of course. Just like MINE!
I could do that easily if people didn’t think it was so strange. I love butter!
- I hear you. I totally do it when no one’s looking. My dad and I used to smear butter on tangerine peels and eat them when I was little. The thought of which kinda makes me want to die now.
She’s so sweet, she just needed a little something to balance her out…
Latte Mommy’s last blog post..Shades of Grey(’s)
- Best. Answer. Ever. Are you trying to butter me up? ;-)
My son started doing the same thing, my mom actually started him on it. It makes me want to puke though so I yell at him when he does it. Obesity runs in our family so I figured not getting him hooked on eating butter would benefit him in the long run. We’ll see.
Allie Bear’s last blog post..It’s official, there is something wrong with me.
- The first time she did it, I was baking. I heard a thud, turned around, and found the whole pound of butter on the floor with tiny little fingerprints in it. She’s a fiend for it. It’s really not my favorite thing she does.
We only have tub butter, but I guess that and a spoon could happen!! LOL!
Jen-The Mom’s last blog post..You, You, You Outta Know
- The damage from a tub and a spoon would be EPIC. Your whole house would be shiny.
You need a tiny, cute pink defibrillator with that diet! LOL Kids are so strange….
She’s a doll, though!
christy’s last blog post..Wherever you go? There you are.
- Snort. I am picturing that. SNORT!
Mmmm… Butter.
anne nahm’s last blog post..Thursday
- My response to this is censored.
Anything that butter is on is just a vehicle for the butter. Good for you for skipping the middle man!
April’s last blog post..Flashback Friday - Nancy
- Preach it, sister!
You’re so poetic. Nice.
Audubon Ron’s last blog post..Fanciful Friday
- What can I say? Butter brings out the best in me.
My 4 YO does that too! At the restaurants, she pops those round butter balls into her mouth like nothing. *gag*
SherE1’s last blog post..Fivespot Meme and Desiree’s Dance Update
- Not gag. Yum. YummaNummy. Okay, maybe a *little* gag.
LMAO!
“hey, what do you guys want for breakfast?”
“ummm, I dunno…..OO…OO….I KNOW….a stick of butter!”
Tammy’s last blog post..Tiny Black Square Nipple Boobies?
- Better…DESSERT!
wow…that looks delicious…*barf*! ;-)
i could so totally see my 2 year old son do that…of course he’ll eat anything…carpet lint, thread….crocs….he’s a little odd!
i’ve only watched According to Jim once (at my SILs), but it was an episode where he and his BIL came up with a snack for when they’re watching football…the stuck sticks of butter on popsicle sticks, and then rolled them in sugar! now that’s a snack! ;-)
cate’s last blog post..Haiku Friday: the magic of corn
- Um, that sounds kinda GOOD to me. Don’t hate me!
Ooh, yum yum yummmm *heaves as quietly as possible*.
Nice one, littlest Mr Lady.
On a side note, when I was little, we went grocery shopping, came out, left our grocery bags in the van, then went out to lunch (leaving our dog in the car, windows cracked of course). When we came back, every single carton of butter was ripped to shreds, and our poor pooch was laying on the floor of our vehicle, looking quite ill. We thought we’d make it home, but alas, the puking started halfway there. It was the most hideous thing I’ve ever witnessed.
Thought I’d try out the lovely linky dink thing you showed me:
Thanks!

I can’t believe it’s not…oh wait…it is
What I really can’t believe is that no one beat me to that joke.
Jennifer’s last blog post..Nasa Proves It! There Is Life On Other Planets!
- Shocking, isn’t it? :-)
i’m only gagging a little. the mayo thing, tho? gonna have to talk to ralph on the porcelain phone.
the planet of janet’s last blog post..Haiku Friday: the I totally score edition
At least there’s no messy clean-up involved, or any sort of braid-around.
Fury eats straight butter, straight Parmesan and does shots of Chinese Chicken Salad dressing. That thing you proposed earlier? Could work.
BusyDad’s last blog post..Sometimes…
- Woo Hoo! I’m gonna have little Chinese grandbabies that are good at math AND using chopsticks!
I used to find little teeth marks in my butter sometimes too… that’s hilarious. I never did catch my butter muncher in the act.
Tara R.’s last blog post..Fish and houseguests
- I found those for a long time. Wish I’d gotten a picture. Damn, lost blog-fodder.
I’m glad the comments gave me a clue, because I had no idea what it was at first. I really need to have my eyes checked.- Fake Plastic Natalie’s need not bother with commenting on my site, thankyouverymuch. ;-)
I’m so relaxed by this post now. Ahhhh.
Ricardo’s last blog post..Part V: Giving the Gift of Boob
- Slippery babies with high cholesterol relax you? WERIDO. Oh, waaaaait…..
That other Natalie up there? The one CLAIMING to be me? That’s not me. No way, nuh-uh; because THIS Natalie actually reads titles. Yep.
Dang it, Mr. Lady, why don’t you have the option to delete one’s own idiotic comments on your blog?
Natalie’s last blog post..Bite Me, MSNBC
- Taken care of, lover. That Natalie won’t DREAM of coming back here.
Great post! Remember when we used to have thousands of those moments and didn’t do a damn thing with them? They’re like vacation now.
Matt’s last blog post..The Playpen in Motion
Jeez! If you HAVE to eat a stick a butter, at least have the manners to stick it between two slices of bread….that is how I do it! Then I have a side order of fried lard. Nutritious AND delicious!
dan leone’s last blog post..Good company is more important than good wine.
I like butter but not as much as the Baby apparently. She could have used some of your freshly home baked bread. You do bake bread, don’t you?
janethesane’s last blog post..8 Week Challenge…Yes, Still
mmmm butter… at least there will be no constipation issues. A very well oiled child.
tiff’s last blog post..In Noah’s world.
LOL @ Natalie.
Maria’s last blog post..Tramp Stamped.
shouldn’t we be happy that she chose to eat it, instead of use it as hair product?
now i’m going to have to have hot dogs and doritos in my house…maybe i’ll start giving her the chance to eat butter instead.
zoeyjane’s last blog post..Tis the Season
my daughter eats butter like that. I can’t leave sticks laying around or she tries to sneak and eat them.
Shamelessly Sassy’s last blog post..Keeping It Real
Did she get sick?
Diane’s last blog post..Amsterdam
I am so glad that it isn’t just my toddler with the butter obsession.
Veronica’s last blog post..Seven
Yeah, thank God it’s not a stick of margarine. That shit’s bunk, yo. Real cream, real fat, the way to go!
Loved your 100, too, and wish I could sit there with you.

Salted? Because if it’s salted, I’m totally on board.
Deb (Missives From Suburbia)’s last blog post..I Don’t Mean To Be Crass
I remember a warm summer day when, left alone and to my own devices (age 4), I found a can of Hershey’s Syrup, located a can opener, opened the can as you would a can of beer and drank the syrup. I was in my 30’s before I could stand chocolate syrup on my ice cream.
