we found the butter

inside a huge silver stock pot and way up high, in the back of one of the kitchen cabinets. I don't even want to know how he got up there. how did he get up there? how did he get his hands on a pot that I have to use a step stool to get to? I swear, I haven't had that big pot out in ages. I laughed out loud when I saw it and felt like taking a victory lap around the house. look buddy! I yelled. it's the butter! we found the butter! how in the world did you get up there? huh? HOW? he smiled that little closed mouth half-moon smile. I sorry mommy, he said. I din mean to, I SORREEEE! still with that half moon smile and me standing there, holding that tub of liquidy yellow goo, completely puzzled.

  6. This is my favourite Ezra story since the Buzz Lightyear going off in the trunk of the car incident. I love it. My kid has never done anything like this, but my husband often uses odd logic when putting things away. I once, after days of desperate searching, found my breast pump in a very similar stock pot. He also was unable to explain.

  17. Hurray!
    The Butter Hunt saga stuck with us as well!
    So glad you found it and yet also kind of happy Ezra still holds the key to the mystery! The Butter Hunt and the Buzz Lightyear story will always be his, always be told. What a cool gift to your family!
