Tea with Daddy......


One day my mother was out and my dad was in charge of me.

I was maybe 2 1/2 years old and had just recovered from an

accident. Someone had given me a little 'tea set' as a get-well

gift and it was one of my favorite toys.

Daddy was in the living room engrossed in the evening news

when I brought Daddy a little cup of 'tea', which was just

water.  After several cups of tea and lots of praise for such

yummy tea, my Mom came home.

My Dad made her wait in the living room to watch me bring

him a cup of tea, because it was 'just the cutest thing!'

My Mom waited, and sure enough, here I come down the hall

with a cup of tea for Daddy and she watches him drink it up.

Then she says, 'Did it ever occur to you that the only place

that baby can reach to get water is the toilet?'
