                ~~~  Just my cup of tea!  ~~~

I heard a story about a mother who was sick in bed with the flu. Her
darling daughter wanted so much to be a good nurse.  She fluffed the
pillows and brought a magazine for her mother to read.  And then she
even showed up with a surprise cup of tea.

"Why, you're such a sweetheart," the mother said as she drank the tea.
"I didn't know you even knew how to make tea."

"Oh, yes," the little girl replied, "I learned by watching you. I put
the tea leaves in the pan and then I put in the water, and I boiled it,
and then I strained it into a cup. But I couldn't find a strainer, so I
used the flyswatter instead."

"You what?" the mother screamed.

And the little girl said, "Oh, don't worry, Mom, I didn't use the new
flyswatter.  I used the old one."
