Must Have Butter

I once saw a UFO; an unidentified flying object. When I told my family, they thought that I was nutty. An object can be anything; even simple butter. When I got up this morning; I wanted toast with butter. When my toast was ready, my butter contained a foreign object. Since peanut butter was all that was left; my task was very nutty. Outside I took my breakfast; coffee and toast so nutty. Across the sky, something glided; as smooth as, melted butter. It was no bird that I saw, but an unidentified flying object. I saw the object; I’m not nutty; and to the store I’ll scurry; I have to have butter!

A scattering of thought across a night sky! Your title made me think of my grandson’s mantra of wanting fried butter..yes, I guess that’s a thing now. Another grand used to just eat butter that had to stop...lol!

I've seen kids do that...what's the attraction? I love butter but, I can't eat it by itself. Thanks again.

Love how you compare butter to a UFO - I would never have thought of it!

Well, they do glide smoothly and are very quiet, like butter. Thanks Michelle.
