Dear Family Members,
Please keep the dang lid on the dang butter dish. I have told you 50 million times that the cat keeps getting on the counter and eating the butter!!
Again and again and again.
I nag because I NEED TO. Keep the lid on the butter dish! Thank you.
Repetitively,
The Management

Very funny! Thanks for the laugh…half the stuff we say in our homes should just be put on an audio loop, don’t you think?
Fox Hollow Cottage says
Leave it there, and tell em it’s the only butter left. LOL!
Wait, they are boys, they might not care?
Kim Wilson says
Oh my gosh, Christine and Shannon’s comments are making me laugh! Yep, I’d leave the butter out for the boys. Natural consequence is the way to go I’ve decided. (I’m about to go on a mama strike). 😉

Maggie @ Midwestern {Sewing} Girl says
LOL!!!! I love you, Viv…you are soooo awesome.

I’m thinking if you wait to tell the family when they are eating a piece of buttered toast you might get more bang with your request. “By the way honey, is there butter on that bread? The cat was licking it”. Of course the cat doesn’t really have had to lick it, just so they *think* it did. I want to try that on my family just to see the expressions on their faces.

Viv, you just crack me up. Have a Blessed and wonderful Easter.
Good Time Charlie says
Boys! I should probably let you know this now. I am a Cat disliker and that is just disgusting!!!!!!!
Al says
This is such a funny post! The pics are great, too cute. I hope for the sake of the management, the peeps will wise up. Have a great Easter! -Al
Marisa says
Sorry to laugh but I had a cat that used to do the same thing. It’s not funny when it happens but now that he’s gone (RIP Thumbs…. he was a polydactil cat) and seeing your post about it makes me laugh. Happy Easter.
Lesley at Fabulously Flawed says
Bahaha!
Seriously, even without the hungry kitty, leaving butter out uncovered makes my OCD spider senses tingle. It’s so gross!
MiMi says
Hilarious and DISGUSTING.
Becky Dunham says
Oh I can sooo relate to this 🙂
Laura@Elegant Nest says
HA! Our cat used to do the same thing…and when I would get up and go stomping into the kitchen to grab him, he would start licking faster! Li’l stinker!
I told my boys that I WOULD just use the butter on their waffles if they didnt put the lid on…and now they do!
Oh and by the way…PLEASE PUT THE LID DOWN ON THE TOILET SEAT!
ps…(the cat drinks out of there too)
Lori E says
Our St. Bernard ate a whole pound of butter in once sitting. The foil wrapper didn’t even have a trace of butter left on it. Bone dry.
You can well imagine the results of that in his system.
Emmy says
Lol! Not sure if I should say darn cat or darn kids 🙂
