I'm listening to one of my fourth grade boys speak super enthusiastically about some video game he was playing last night that has to do with dragon eggs and undead spiders. I found that as he was speaking, I was drawn to some really large, oily stains on the knees of his pants (you have to imagine the pants for a minute, they are the ones that zip off on the bottom for convenience, as you would expect) so against my better judgment, I asked him, "what are those, uh, stains on your pants?" After no pause at all, he replied, "butter." Like it was the most natural thing in the world.

Butter.

Laughing out loud followed by a queezy feeling.

I think I know the game the boy was speaking of, and it makes perfect sense that he would have butter stains on his knees. I have two boys, nothing is out of the realm of possiblility. (Actually, I have to agree with S., kind of queezy right now).
