I left this little girl playing in the kitchen yesterday.
Washing dishes.
Peeling clementines.
Spraying water.
Cute.
Cute.
I came back shortly thereafter and found the most horrifying thing I have ever seen.This:
Apparently she was so excited/hungry/ravenous for a BITE OF BUTTER?!?!? that she ate it through the papery-coating.
Is this some strange form of PICA or is she just strange.
I'm guessing it's the latter. We had a heart to heart about asking for a slice of toast if you would like a taste of butter. Let's hope this life-lesson sticks.
What have your kids eaten that horrified you?

Please don't be horrified. My boys LOVE to eat butter. I have no explanation for this, but if you need to justify the butter eating, remember that her brain is made almost entirely of fat. Butter is just making her smarter.
I have two things to add to this lovely post. One pertains to this post, and one pertains to a previous post. So... on we go.
Numero Uno~ Love the teeth tracks through the butter. Wonder if she enjoyed the wrapping, too? My little one has eaten dog food (sick as it may be, she's done it), and her newest one was LAPPING water out of the dog's bowl while the dog was drinking, too! My husband couldn't find the camera to capture that Kodak moment! :o( She's also had a nibble on a crayon, and loves to lick baby wipes (ICK)!
Numero Dos~
Do Jersey Granny and Pop give grandparenting lessons? If so, how much do they charge? Because every single stinking time you have something posted on here from your window shopping extravaganzas, your girls ALWAYS get what you have window shopped for! I already have a whole entire list of things that my kid would look super-fab in or have fun playing with, she has her own blog to post these items, we just need the grandparents on board. How about you ask them if thye'll give lessons? If they agree, our two sets of parentals need to be first.on.the.list.! Enough said!
Have a great Thursday <3
ew. judah has done that too and he now understands he CAN NOT just eat butter by itself. i can remember my sister going through a whole stick when she was a kid. i just don't understand. ew.
My kids love butter, too. My oldest daughter would sit and eat a stick of butter if I'd let her.
The most horrifying thing any of my children have drank/eaten was definitely this fall when I emptied out our kids' pool and the Jib got face-down on the tarp that was under the pool all summer and slurped some of the stagnant pool water that was left on it. Yeah, told you it was horrifying. I'd take teethmarks in my butter over that ANYTIME!
Tell you what, though - Jib rarely ever gets so much as a cold!
I think the best part of the story is not so much that she ate butter, but that you told her she needs to at least wipe it some toast first!
Well, at least she will live this one down- my cousin Sami ate dog poop when she was 3. She's 27, just got married, and has yet to make it through a family gathering without someone mentioning it!
Hey- at least she eats! You could be saddled with E!
That is too funny!
We were in a store a few weeks ago and I turned around to see Sammy putting a piece of candy in his mouth that he found on the floor under the candy machines! Yuck!
One time in the class that I teach a boy was eating a cereal bar, a piece fell on the floor, so I threw it in the trash... next thing I know another kid went in the trash, found the food and ate it... at least your butter was clean since it was still all wrapped up. haha
One of ours admitted to eating dog food - and said it tasted great! I'll let you figure out who it was!
Oh...the what did they eat that is horrifying? Boogers. I know it's what kids do, but I'd rather they eat the cat food.
