Tea Time

One day while visiting my grandparents, my grandmother had to step out, and my grandfather was in charge of me. I was about 2 1/2 years old and I had just received a miniature tea set as a gift. It quickly became my favorite toy.

Grandpa was in the family room watching tv when I brought him a little cup of tea (which was just water). After several cups of tea and lots of praise from Grandpa for making such a yummy cup of tea, my grandmother came home.

Grandpa made her wait in the hall to watch me bring him another cup of tea, because it was “just the cutest thing!” Grandma waited, and sure enough I slowly appeared, carefully carrying another cup of tea for Grandpa.

Grandma watched him drink it up, then said “Did it ever occur to you that the only place she can reach to get water is the toilet?”

  • deseed

    BS! No one and I do mean no one remembers being 2 and half years of age. Your memories of the time in your life are not your own. I think you fabricated this story or someone older than you told you this.

  • Penelope

    Thus my stating at the end it was shared with me via email (this isn’t my story, but it’s a true story, and a funny one)

  • Anita Gillette

    Well, deseed, that is just not so. I can remember my own memories at 2 1/2 whether you want to believe it or not. I remember being even younger than that when I was a little bitty girl, maybe a year old and my aunt posing me for a picture.
