Buttons! You either love them or hate them or you can be ambivalent towards them. I have a friend who has a bit of an aversion to the button. So much so that she has gone to great lengths to provide anti-button solutions for the world's sewers.
I, myself, am of the ambivalent button persuasion unless it is one of these very special artistica buttons. There is a Buttonfest on in Melbourne this week end for all the buttonphiles to attend. There will certainly be the cream of buttons on display at such an event.
We have been known to use the odd button around here but the serious art house buttons are kept in the big green cupboard and are not for general consumption.
The everyday domestica button is, on the other hand used frequently as a fastener and as a form of toddler tamer. In the time it took to squeeze all these buttons into this pig's slot, this plant which is inserted for gratuitous relief, grew 5 cms.
Thus an alternative button receptacle was enlisted. "There are almost as many buttons here as my mother has birthdays. 1...2...4....7...."
This button therapy can be used to overcome deep seated and irrational fears of the button. Repeated insertion of buttons into a slotted receptacle will render the troubled button-phobic back to the desired button ambivalence (or be like fingernails on a blackboard).Be not afraid button-phobic. The button will not harm you but, rather, seeks only to serve. Face your buttons, button up and long live the button!
