Day 350: Kisses

(For Monday August 11)

I am so grateful for kisses.  So many different kinds of kisses to display so many different kinds of affection. I am especially fond of kisses on the forehead, kissing babies heads, kissing my family & friends cheeks (female and male friends - but only certain males, ha), and of course kissing my man.  *wink*  My man and I have shared a lot of kisses over the years and we've shared a variety of kisses - ones from the perfunctory kisses to the passionate ones.  I am grateful for the kisses I sneak in on my kids (they are teens so I have to sneak them in, especially with the oldest). I am grateful for these little shows of affections.

Call it a Day

The literal use of this phrase hails from 1838 when the phrase originally was "call it half a day" to mean leaving work early. (source) The modern use of the phrase is to indicate ending something due to false sense of accomplishment.

Butter someone up

There are two probable origins for this idiom and I think both are equally plausible. The first one is that when you spread butter on bread you are buttering it up like one would do when trying to flatter someone. The second is in ancient India there was a practice of throwing balls of butter at statues to ask for favor, i.e. buttering them up. ( source ) When we use the phrase today we generally mean that extreme flattery is used to gain information or favor. It's not always necessarily a compliment.
