Come, Butter, Come!
Mallory made butter in school a month or so ago, and ever since has been begging me to let her make some here. I kept meaning to but kept forgetting to get her some cream. I finally remembered today and she got to make us some butter. That was pretty neat!
At first she had the cream in a coffee jar, shaking and shaking and shaking, singing this sweet little song. Remember when Mamaw used to sing this?
Come, butter, come! Come, butter, come!
Johnny's standing by the gate,
Waiting for his butter cake!
Come, butter, come! Come, butter, come!
The butter didn't get there fast enough, I watched while she handed the jar to Dippy and told him to shake a while, that her arm was hurting. He in turn gave it to Roy to shake a while. Finally it went back to Mallory who just kept singing and shaking. Come, butter, come!
After a while she got tired again and I mentioned that it might go a little faster with a hand mixer. She got all excited, "Will that work?" And so we tried it. And yes, it worked! Look what nice butter she made!
It was DEEEELicious!! Nice Job Mallory! Be careful though, I think I heard your Mommy and Daddy talking about having you make it and sell it over at the courthouse!
