We Do That as Adults Now
When the OP was a kid, he used to take a tub of butter out of the fridge and eat it straight. So? That’s nothing to be ashamed about. We’re pretty sure that most of you guys reading this (including us) do this as adults now. Right? Right? Oh, it’s just us then? Alright, maybe that is weird, then.
They probably knew that their parents would get mad at them for eating butter not as a spread but as a snack, so they did it while hiding under a chair. You know, because parents never look for their children beneath furniture. Good thinking, OP.
