Cup of Tea
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 2 and a half years old.
Someone had given me a little ‘tea set’ as a birthday 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 mom says, ‘Did it ever occur to you that the only place that baby can reach to get water is the toilet?’
That one made me laugh out loud. Steve’s 2yr old daughter is always bringing me stuff to eat when I’m at his house. It never occurred to me to question where it came from…until now. 🙁
You should always question what the origin of children’s stickiness is. (Eww.)
LOL I should stick with the fake tea in the plastic cups. ICK! At least it’s not out of the doggie water bowl I suppose.
I thought the toilet bowl IS the doggie water bowl.
Oh my… that is GROSS! I am always careful when Jayla gives me something to eat. If I don’t see the place it came from ,t then I pretend to put it in my mouth and just throw it away later. She is catching on, tho.
We try to keep the toilet lids down on all the toilets. The dogs have their own waterer, but sometimes the air bubbles scare them, its kind of cute to watch them look at the bubbles and think “what the heck was that? i thought was drinking water!”
