Joke of the Day

One day, my mother was out and my dad was in charge of me.

I was about two and a half years old. Someone had given me a little tea set as a gift, and it was one of my favourite toys.

Dad was in the living room, absorbed in the evening news, when I proudly brought him a little cup of “tea”—which was really just water.

After several cups of tea, and lots of praise for how delicious it was, my mum came home.

Dad made her sit in the living room so she could watch me bring him another cup, because it was “just the cutest thing!” Sure enough, down the hall I came with another cup of tea, which he happily drank.

Then Mum 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?”
