mother's dixit

Having tea with my mother can be very interesting and very funny indeed. She will drink tea without even considering quitting in a very hot day. It's impossible to follow her steps, and not only she drinks a cup o tea, but two, or may be three, depending who she's with, and for how long the conversation will last. She also says that tea is refreshing, much more than any other thing.

But today something happened to this routine, it seemed she had her first cup of tea, and with no reason at all, she gulped it down as if she were in a rush. It was not the case, as we were chatting about our so exciting lives.

Then she said she couldn't continue having tea, it was too hot for her and it was a hot day! So the lady changed a bit, after all.

Her words were: no more tea for the rest of the summer in very hot days for me.

I will apply her saying whenever she asks me to put the kettle on...
