A Mother Knows

One day my mother was out and my dad was in charge of me and my brother who is four years younger than I am. He was maybe 3-1/2 years old and had just recovered from an accident in which his arm had been broken.

Someone had given him a little "tea set" as a get-well gift and it was one of his favorite toys. Daddy was in the living room engrossed in the evening news and my brother was playing nearby in the living room when he brought Daddy a little cup of "tea" (which was just water).

After several cups of tea and lots of praise for such yummy tea, Mom came home. Dad made her wait in the living room to watch my brother bring him a cup of tea, because it was "just the cutest thing!"

Mom waited, and sure enough, here he comes down the hall with a cup of tea for Daddy and she watches him drink it up. Then she says to him, "Did it ever occur to you that the only place that baby can reach to get water is the toilet?"
