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??'
