Tea party (and toilet water)

So, it was all innocent enough. I was on the phone and my toddler, Eli, had been bringing me tiny, empty porcelain tea cups. "Momma! For you!" he'd squeel and I'd grab the cup and pretend-sip from it.

"Mmmmm ... Thank you!" I'd say, each time.

I had been chatting on the phone with a good friend--outside on my balcony--when I heard him again, banging on my door. "Momma! For youuuuuu!

"Okay, thank you!" And I picked up the tiny porcelain cup and pretend-sipped it; only, this time, I wasn't pretending. Water poured from the tiny cup into my mouth and onto my tank top.

"What the ...."

"What is this?!"

(In the background, I hear my daughter yell to me:)

"I saw Eli getting water from the toilet."

"Ugh! Are you kidding me?! You have got to be kidding me!!"

"Oh. My. Gosh," I said to my girlfriend on the phone. "I just drank toilet water. Ewwwwwwwwwww!!"

Gotta love kids! They'll push us to our limits, turning us into potty mouths (one way or another!). Don't you just love my corny jokes??? :)
