A nice cup of tea

Den här historien hittade jag i Homecoming magazine - en amerikansk månadstidning som vi prenumererar på:
One day my mother was out, and my dad was in charge for me. I was maybe 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!"
My mom waited, and sure enough, here I came down the hall with a cup of tea for Daddy. She watched him drink it up.
Then she said, "Did it ever occur to you that the only place she can reach to get water is the toilet?"
