There's nothing wrong with the sentence.
But maybe those you said it to have an insider joke? 'Button' may be a keyword in one of their jokes. Or maybe you pronounced it 'bottom', which can mean a person's behind.

It is an ordinary sentence.
If your pronounciation was like BUTTOCKS, it may be laughy.
