cup of tea ?

[briggie]

One day little Abby's mum was out and her dad was in charge of her.
Abby was maybe 2 1/2 years old and had just recovered from an accident.
Someone had given her a little 'tea set' as a get-well gift and it was one of her favorite toys.
Daddy was in the living room engrossed in the evening news when she brought Daddy a little cup of "tea," which was just water.
After several cups of tea and lots of praise for such yummy tea, her Mom came home.
Abby's Dad made her wait in the living room to watch her bring him a cup of tea, because it was "just the cutest thing!"
Abby's Mom waited, and sure enough, here she come down the hall with a cup of tea for Daddy and she watched him drink it up.
Then she says, (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?"
