Like Butter

Long-time readers of this blog will recall that The Boy likes butter. One day several years ago, when The Boy was a young toddler, The Boy's Mother was dropping off him at daycare. The Boy was being particularly clingy and weepy that day making it hard for his mother to leave him. One of the caregivers picked him up and explained: "your mommy needs to go to work, so she can earn money to buy food for you to eat."

The Boy sniffled and then replied, asking, "like butter?"

I have become a recent fan of your blog. And as for your conductor threatening death on the Amtrak in Boston... I used to live there and would take the train back and forth to DC (where I have returned to) to see my family, I had him driving a couple of times.

He once threatened to put the whole car in time out.
