While we are on the subject, how many of you use a butter knife? I have had the hardest time getting my family to understand how a butter knife should be used! The Butter knife, as I understand it, is used to cut the butter, then place it on the side of one's plate. Why is it that so many want to use it to butter the bread directly??? LOL!!!! I'm a stickler for this stuff because of the way my mom handled it with us. My children think I am nuts!
