Whose butt(on)s?

As many of you may know there is some child instinct which not only is fascinated by any electronic button at all, but also is interested only in those buttons that actually do something. Thus it is with Connor. He knows all the places in his life where buttons occur and will begin explaining "Butt!!! Butt!!! Butt!!" stopping only when he has been able to press them at least a little. The exception to this of course is the phone, which is the "Hi."

Not only will he not be bought off by old non-working cell phones or remote controls, but he also won't even accept a remote control that is working, but just not effective at the time (say a VCR remote when a DVD is on). He will begin crying, gesturing for the buttons that could be used to wreak havoc at that moment and say "My butts! MY BUTTS!!"
