My kids were squabbling in the back of the car. Normal, right? Well, normal on the surface until Aryn looks at his sister, and shouts with all of his breath, “You buttercup of death!”
Remember, this is the child who used pragmalinguistics in asking for ice cream for breakfast: Remember we ate ice cream sometimes in the morning?

There must be some logic to this linguistic creativity!
He is shocking me!
Wow. You better get your son a pad and pen, right?
I think so–he will be writing beautiful poetry with his sideways S’s and backwards N’s. That is an image in itself–he is 5 and a poet before he can write much more than his name 🙂
I like it. Besides, poetry is about being seen and heard. . . who cares about spelling! 🙂
Not I! It is the expressiveness I want him to capture 🙂
I do have to say this insult suits his sister to a T–she is beautiful, sunny, sweet and deadly when crossed 🙂
Heh…buttercup of death is a usable title. I suggest it as a future band name, but it works as a title as well. Genius!
It IS–my little genius 5-year-old–I love it! Zoe already told me I had better not steal his line…
Has he ever heard Build Me Up Buttercup? (Not that you want to hear it.)
You just passed me a major earworm, LOL! No–with me in the car it is usually jazz, news, or my playlist (which does not include this song–not that I don’t like it, but Nelle, now it is stuck in my head and I have to listen to it).
Hm love it as a title,a buttercup of death that rode out to a quickening storm of deadly daisy’s and the dandelions of the devil 🙂
Oh my–you should use it 🙂
Just watch out for the dastardly day lilies.
Thanks I am going to use it but link back
