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 not quite 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 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??”
