A Cup of Tea

~A Cup of Tea ~

One day my mother was out, and my dad was in charge of me.

I was maybe 2 1/2 years old. Someone had given me a little 'tea set' as a gift, and it was one of my favorite toys.

Daddy was in the living room engrossed in the evening news when I brought him 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!' Mom waited, and sure enough, here I came down the hall with a cup of tea for Daddy; and she watched him drink it up.

Then she said, (as only a mother would know), "'Did it ever occur to you that the only place she can reach to get water, is the toilet?"

First time I've seen this thread.

I'm not sure whether Jim has disguised the true culprit, and it is in fact him reminiscing about his childhood.

Talking of wanting to go to the loo I'll never forget one Saturday night when my eldest daughter was just 12.

I'd been out with the boys for a few beers and got home rather the worse for wear, but managed to get to bed without disturbing anyone.

However, by around three in the morning I could hold my bladder no longer so got up to go to the bathroom. As I stood there (as nature intended) I felt a pair of cold, clammy hands on my butt as a soft voice whispered, "Dad, the bathroom is further along, this is the airing cupboard."

"Thank God you saved me", I replied, "whatever you do, don't tell your mother."

But it was too late, my bladder couldn't wait and her mother had witnessed everything. I'll let you all know when I'm out of the doghouse!
