The Tea Party

When I was a toddler, someone gave me a little Tea Set as a gift,

and it was one of my favorite toys.

My father was in the living room engrossed in the evening news when

I brought him a little cup of tea, which was just water, of course.

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

his little Princess 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.

She watches him drink it up and then says,

"Did it ever occur to you that the only place that

a toddler can reach to get water is the toilet?"
