Peanerbutt....

Sooooo here's a little story of an embarrassing moment that happened to me in high school. We were going through the work of Shakespeare and his piece Romeo and Juliet, like every other English high school class in the nation. Since understanding Shakespeare is as easy as understanding rocket physics, we as groups each took a small piece of the production and put it into modern day English. With my huge anxiety of talking in front of people and the girl I had liked my whole high school career sitting in the front row, it was the elements for a perfect storm of embarrassment.
 My part was simple. I just had to reply to the polices question and state that Mercutio and Romeo began to fight. With my fear I went back in forth in my head over and over again if I should say "they began to fight," or "they started to fight." With both these phrases fighting for their spotlight and my anxiety, I nervously said, "Mercutio and Romeo began to fart." At this time, anyone who was sleeping, which is most people while reading Shakespeare in a high school class setting, were definitely no longer sleeping.....
So why do I tell you this? Well hopefully you got a laugh out of it, but I was with my girlfriend the other day and she had a similar experience. We went to the Sugar and Spice area at BYU for some ice cream and noticed something that wasn't quite right in the picture below....


The reeses pieces and the peanuts were in the wrong containers! My girlfriend went to comment on this to her friend working on the counter and some how got reeses pieces, peanuts and peanut butter all combined in one and said "Hey peanerbutts!" At this moment to be honest I did laugh, but I also realized that we are definitely kindred spirits.
