Sister queries, “Can you really make butter just by shaking milk?”
“Yes,” I reply. “I believe you can.”
Many minutes later she appears by my side.
“Can we do that?”
“Do what?”
“Make butter?”
“Yes,” I reply. “I believe we can.”
And here is how it’s done:
Add 1/4 cup of this - 
and three of these - 
to one of these (with a tight fitting lid) - 
let one of these - 
shake vigorously intermittently for several minutes.
Pour off the liquid (buttermilk?) that accumulates and you are left with this 
and a very proud one of these -

LOL - I remember doing that when I was in preschool! But we didn’t have marbles. I think we just shook it forever!
Glad she enjoyed it

Love it. And I love your writing here. You’ve got this sort of flat tone to the whole thing that makes it so funny. : )
This is awesome.
We made butter in second grade around Thanksgiving with my teacher Mrs. Morgan. (I remember it was thanksgiving because I took some home in hopes that we’d use it for our Thanksgiving dinner rolls!) I’ll never forget her because we always made things in her class. Butter, paper, tortillas. She was the best.
