When I was about three, Mum went out and left Dad in charge of me. Apparently I was playing with my favourite toy, a tea set. While Daddy was in the living room engrossed in the evening news, I brought him cups of "tea", which were just water.
After several cups and lots of praise, Mum came home. Dad made her wait in the living room to watch me bring him a cup of tea, because it was "just the cutest thing!"
Sure enough, I came down the hall with a cup of tea for Daddy. Mum watched him drink it up, then said (with a mother's typical wisdom), "Did it ever occur to you that the only place she can reach to get water is the toilet?"
小さい頃の子供は本当にかわいいですね。孫はいないので代わりに朝日新聞の「あのね」のコーナーを読むのを楽しみにしています。
