tea

While conversing with myself tonight, a thought popped (occured, visited) about a place where people are very fond of tea. Conversations go like this:

"He left, Mama."
"Oh, darling..."
"And you should see that...that crafty witch! Oh, but Mama, she's so scrumptious!"
"Now, now, dumpling...a cup of tea will set you straight."
"Oh, tea! Yes, of course!"

Or :


"Hello, munchkin...how was work today?"
"Uggh...I should get some tea."
"That bad, huh?"
"Sorted a bunch of paperclips...pink from blue."
"Dear munchkin...I'll go get your tea, and then we can..." (gestures at the bedroom)
"You think...?"
"I'll make your tea...thick."
"Rrrrr."

Charmingly retarded. But tea is wonderful. Wonderful.
