A Toddler's Tea Party!!



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 and a half 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 come down the hall with a cup of
tea for
Daddy and 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??'
