    It's difficult to say what my wife does – she sells sea shells on the sea shore.

        Like most wives, she appears to be quite contrary.

          From her she shed no doubt?

            My friend Betty bought a bit of butter; “But,” she said, “this butter's bitter! If I put it in my batter It will make my batter bitter. But a bit o’ better butter Will but make my batter better.” Then she bought a bit o’ butter Better than the bitter butter, Made her bitter batter better. So ’twas better Betty Botter Bought a bit o’ better butter (Original by Carolyn Wells, 1899)

                No! The contrariness happens once we marry them. The rhyme is just a warning we all ignored.

                If you can't laugh at yourself - ask me and I will do it for you.

                  Woah! ...never seen that version before - much more interesting than the short one I knew on the same theme: "Betty bought a bit o' butter but she found the butter bitter so Betty bought a better bit o' butter to make the bitter butter better" ...have to learn that one now!
