My wife and I were hanging out in the living room, and my 5 year old came out and politely said "Mommy, Daddy, I just wanted you to know that nothing is wrong and you don't need to come into my room."
He had spilled something quite badly, I don't remember what it's been more than 10 years, but then he had covered it up just as badly in true little kid fashion. Like, vaguely put a piece of paper over it.
Yup. We were joking about it when he was much older, he remembered the event, and remembered legitimately thinking it was a good idea to disuade us. He made a mess, didn't want to get caught, and thought "I better let them know everything is ok. Then they won't come check."
When I was a little kid, my mom took me to a public building to use the restroom and, for some reason, allowed me to take a Koosh ball with me. While I was in there, I dropped the ball in the urinal.
The first thing I said when I came out carrying it was "you don't have to worry, I washed it off!" For some reason this caused some consternation.
Not to a kid though. I know several people who did this as tots and I was one of them. It's probably some biological incentive for developing brains where certain sources of fat seem mighty appealing whereas to an adult it'll probably just make you feel sluggish and put your digestive system/skin PH out of whack lol
A stick of butter which was only half-eaten, and so there is half remaining.
If "stick of butter" is the part which is confusing, it might be helpful to know that calling it a stick suggests this individual may reside in the eastern United States.
In the Eastern states, butter typically comes in thin stick-shaped bars, in comparison to the fatter bars in the Western states (and most of the rest of the world)
that makes perfect sense actually. I think i was confused by the aparent (to me) focus on finding it in the bed, instead of on the "stick of butter" and "half eaten" part. :)
not so mich in in Australia, the stuff in tubs here is synthetic butter aka margarine, or a butter oil frankenstien mix to make it more easiky "spreadable."

Haha, mine has done the same thing.
Not a parent, but when I hear stuff like that, even I get shivers up my spine
Reminds me of that one post forced update screen in Windows 10: “Your files are exactly where you left them”
Jesus christ, that's like a perfect opening line for a PSX horror game bwahaha
So what was it?
Didn't you listen? There was nothing!

You cant leave us hanging! @[email protected]
That means to immediately investigate what's going on in the room.

This is like asking ChatGPT to draw a picture with no elephants

What's funny is even when it trys to rationalize the mistake by saying they are tiny....even that's not true.
At least it’s willing to talk about the elephant in the room.
Most of it is not elephants.
Woah, A.I is getting really smart
More like really good at gaslighting 😂

Oh my gosh, I love kids lmao
They're the best.
Child or not, pure butter tastes terrible.
salted butter though...

There was one guy who ate nothing but butter for weeks or maybe months.
Ended up with butter in his veins in a gross news story. He looked like a country crock bucket blew up.
At state fairs in Texas they have deep fried butter. in sticks and balls.
hurk
Isn't fat really important for brain development?
i dissent
A stick of butter?
thats an eastern us variety i think, the western variety is shorter an wider
That's where I thought this was going.
Butter chodes
Huh. Didn't know that. Yeah we have these in New York.
And...you just eat it like that?

I don't know any fancy non YouTube links and I use Grayjay. I'm sorry.
Okay, that's it. I was trying to be polite about American food culture on here, give people a chance, you know. Not laugh about it.
But this shit is just an offense against humanity.
What... What else would I do with it?
Put it on something ... like bread?
Ew, gross!
They come in half cup (125ml) sticks in the US.
Or 1/4 cup sticks (half the length of the 1/2 cup sticks), which usually end up a more convient size
Well I certainly didn't leave the butter.
In unrelated news, the child has the galloping shits
George Constanza brought in for questioning
The complexity of the case is beyond infinite. Maybe project the bat signal.
"half eaten stick of butter" ...
nothing in that makes any sense.

yes, that clears up one part, but who in the world eats a stick of pure butter..
The small child in the story who tried it, discovered that eating pure butter is actually terrible, and abandoned it in her mother's bedcovers.
that makes perfect sense actually. I think i was confused by the aparent (to me) focus on finding it in the bed, instead of on the "stick of butter" and "half eaten" part. :)
My sister did when she was 3. Especially when she couldn't find worms.
😂
I used to when I was a kid. Tasted good
it's also often in tubs in most of the world
not so mich in in Australia, the stuff in tubs here is synthetic butter aka margarine, or a butter oil frankenstien mix to make it more easiky "spreadable."
oh uh well then idk
as a vegan the butter i use is "fake" butter (although i can't believe that), maybe the "real" animal butter is not in tubs that often
On a serious note: did you ever figure out who left the butter in your bed and why?
Maybe it's a scam?
