My wife to either child: "You're cute as a button."
Child's reply: "Are buttons cute?"
Wife: "They are when they look like you."
Child rolls eyes.

Paula indicated that she thought "Cute as a button" should not be applied to anyone past teenage. I think it only applies to toddlers and babies. At least that's the way my father used it, and he wasn't much for sayings. As the previous poster implies, it shouldn't be applied to anyone old enough to be sarcastic.

Helen Mirren may not be cute as a button, but Celia Imrie is.
