My eldest gave me a button maker for Mother’s Day. I can now make cute little pins and magnets and other pressed together items with my chosen image.

The word “button” is used for so many things. I’ve been on a whole rabbit-hole excursion on the definition and etymology of the word because it bothers me that a button can be something used to fasten a garment, or as a pin with a slogan, or something you push. Knowing that word comes from a number of sources helps, somewhat. Ah, English.
