One day my mother was out and my dad was in charge of me and
my older brother. I was maybe 2 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 new toys.

Daddy was in the living room engrossed in the evening news
and my brother was playing nearby 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. Dad had 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, and then she says, 'Did it
ever occur to you that the only place that baby can reach
to get water is the toilet??
