I want to have a tea-party
If you're looking for a ponderous and amusing escape from your life for just a moment, read this blog. http://romeifyouwantto.blogspot.com/2008/04/kisses-and-things.html
I have selected a poem for your reading enjoyment today. I wrote this down one afternoon after an impromtu tea-party with Kammy. She asked Zach first, but he didn't want to. That is, until he got feeling left out, since everyone else, meaning me and Kam and several stuffed animals, were sitting on the kitchen floor drinking air, and stirring air in plastic cups with plastic spoons, and spooning air out of a plastic sugar bowl, not to mention pouring air out of a plastic tea-pot. This would be a precious moment I would have forgotten if not for this silly poem. So, vwoolah.
I want to have a tea-party
said she to we as I was writing
and she was playing and he was playing.
I will make you tea, said she.
Said he decidedly, I don’t like tea.
Then I will make it for my bear.
You are Princess Jasmine, she declared,
this yellow-haired and blue-eyed belle.
And I am Belle. And he is, well,
We tried to make him Charming.
I will have tea, said I to she,
and she was delighted with me.
Then I too will have tea, said he.
And we three
drank our tea most pleasantly.

I'm still trying to figure out where little kids (well, okay, little girls) get the idea to have a tea party. It seems like a pretty universal desire. Is there a movie that they all watch at a young age that presents it? Is it just instinct? Or are toy manufacturers putting subliminal devices in their stuffed animals that make kids want to drink tea? Is there a conspiracy between toy makers and tea producers? We may need to look into that...
Not once has Zach ever offered stuffed animals anything of that kind. He does not offer nurture, he takes it. He has one stuffed animal, WoodyBear, whom he allows to play him a lullaby whenever he needs comfort.
The poem was delightful.
