One day my mother was out, and my dad was in charge of me. I was maybe 2 1/2 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 reading the evening news 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. 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; and she watched him drink it up. Then she said, (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?"

(some of you may have seen this in email...)

[The Mayor]

HAHAHAHAHA! Us men can be so stoopid.
That is really cute.

[jaycee]

Glad you liked it. We all get so many emails and I just thought this took the cake.

[jaycee]

I bet this has happened more than once as little girls love tea sets and love to be praised by their Daddy’s!! Glad you liked it, Rus!

[luvie]

Made me LOL for real! It was so cute! Thanks for sharing!

Polly, with the West Coast time and my Eastern time, there is no way we can party together....LOL!! I went upstairs at 11:30 and thought I would watch the ball drop! Well, I fell asleep before the ball dropped...guess I was just tired. Your time would have been around 8:30 I think! All you West coasties were having a great time and I was fast asleep! At least I had some fun earlier!

Your dress was beautiful! We have a great designer, don’t we?

[pollywog]

Yes, we have a marvelous gown designer!! Thanks for the compliments!*g*

Actually we watched the “ ball” drop here....at 9pm...and then went to bed! Never knew when the New Years arrived until I noticed “Jaunuary 1,2010 on the computer this morning!

Had a great traditional waffle and sausage breakfast and the day offically begins now...parade over...think I will iron and clean cupboards!! lol

[Majie Purple]

I thought I had a New Year's poem somewhere ...

Say, Now!

A new first day! Let’s start it right!
Gee, the daylight’s awfully bright.
Maybe I partied some last night,
It’s in the past. Forget it!

Rise and greet the morning sun,
Lot’s of work still to be done.
Nobody said Life would be fun,
But if it is, we’ll let it!

With exuberance we’ll note,
Cheerful living gets my vote,
“A prayer of thanks to Him devote?”
That’s the way! You said it!

Someone lead us in a prayer,
If you’ve got a friend up there,
My example’s not too fair,
Not the way I’ve led it!

Alright, if you still insist,
No sense trying to resist,
I may get points for being missed,
I hope we won’t regret it!

Lord, we humbly bow our head,
And ask again for daily bread,
Let the words be clearly said,
Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!
