Tea for Dad

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 3 and a half
years old and had just recovered from an accident in which my arm had
been broken.

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 she says to
him, "Did it ever occur to you that the only place that baby can
reach to get water is the toilet?"
