ONLY A MOTHER WOULD KNOW...
Cup of Tea ~
One day my
mother was out, and my dad was
in charge of me.
I was maybe 2
1/2 years old. Someone had given
me a little 'tea set' as a 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 came down the
hall with a cup of tea for
Daddy; and she watched him drink
it up.
Then she said,
(as only a mother would know),
"'Did it ever occur to you that
the only place she can reach
to get water is the toilet?"
