BUTTer beans.

Butter beans are one of our favorite sides. Mix them with a little corn and you have our favorite side dish in the world. We are easy and simple like that.

Last night, I was opening up a can of butter beans. These were different than normal. They had a little vidalia onion mixed with them.

Caroline was helping me cook dinner, of course. As I began to open the can of beans, I immediately noticed how awful they smelled.

Caroline began sniffing the air.

She paused.

She sniffed her arm.

She paused.

She sniffed my arm.

"Mom!" she exclaimed. "I smell you butt."

I could not contain my laughter.

I explained (through my giggles) that it was the butter beans that smelled terrible.

She sniffed and agreed it was the butter beans.

Later, she told Ryan, "Dose butter beans smell like Mommy stinky butt."

Note to self: NEVER buy those BUTTer beans again.

My FAVORITE side dish is butter beans, with cornbread and onions. YUM! My breath probably smells like butt afterwards, but it is so good going down!
