I absolutely HATE buttons. Hate, hate, hate even the thought of buttons. I have no reason why, but must come from something in my childhood. I do remember my grandmother having a big tin full of buttons of all colors, shapes, sizes, etc. and I know I used to sort through them for her. Now when I buy clothes that have extra buttons with them, I put them in a plastic container and hide them in the back of my dresser drawer so I don't see them. SHUDDER!
