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 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, (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?'

Barry Dufour says, "Reading the Wednesday column item about the kids playing restaurant reminded me of the time when I was in high school in 1969.

"My friend was at his sister's house visiting with the family. The little girl, his 3-year-old niece, was playing at being a server in a restaurant, and was bringing everyone her little tea cups filled with water.

"They thought it was cute until after a while, my friend decided to see where she was getting the water. She was getting it out of the toilet…"
