No matter how happy you are, I am certain that you have at least one 'Pet Peeve'. I have a few, however, was reminded of one this morning as I cooked some eggs and toast for breakfast. As I was buttering the toast I recalled this pet peeve. There is nothing worse than trying to butter a piece of soft cold bread with hard cold butter. How many times have you gone to a nice restaurant and been presented with beautiful slices of soft fluffy bread only to find that the butter they also brought you was frozen to the point that it had condensation on the surface from the warm air. Now, if you attempt to butter the bread with this you will end up with a perfect piece of circular crust that only has one purpose. Bring it up to your face, look through it at the others at the table and say: Romper, Stomper, Bomper Boo. Tell me tell me tell me do. Magic Mirror tell me today did all my friends have fun today...... If you were born after 1980 you are probably thinking MentalWard would have been a better name for this blog, but it was taken, I checked.
My other pet peeve is when you have nice warm soft butter to put on the soft fluffy bread and you drop it before getting to eat it. Murphy makes sure that the bread always lands butter side down which does not leave open the option of the '5-second rule'. It is impossible to dust the specs off the butter. And picking them off one at a time is a tedious affair. Okay the germaphobes just left screaming, "omg she is really going to eat the bread that hit the floor".
After recalling this pet peeve I was led to a never-ending question I have had most of my life and will probably never have the answer to because I cannot initiate the experiment.
If you strap a piece of buttered bread butter side up to the back of a cat and throw the cat in the air (not high enough to hurt the kitty), will the cat still land on its feet? Or will Murphy Win?
Now, there's a question to ponder! I'm still chuckling.
