Having Tea With Daddy


One day my mother was out and my dad was in charge of me and my brother
who is four years older than I am. I was maybe 1-1/2 to 2 years old and had
just recovered from an accident in which my arm had been broken among
other injuries.
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 and my brother
was playing nearby in the living room 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.
She watches him drink it up, then says, 'Did it ever occur to you that the only place that baby can reach to get water is the TOILET?''
Dad would never drink anymore of my tea.
