@Robyn Hines,

The way I see it, its a cryptic crossword. A butter can also be a goat. A young goat is a kid.

@laughoutlood,

Betty Botter bought some butter,
"But," she said, "this butter's bitter;
If I put it in my batter,
It will make my batter bitter;
But a bit of better butter,
Better than the bitter butter
Will but make my bitter batter better."
So she bought a bit of better butter,
Better than the bitter butter,
and made her bitter batter better.

I've gone for KID,

but if I were a bit of a bettor I'd have an each way bet!!
Personally I think Christine will accept either.
