Tea Party

Last week, Amelia had a friend over.  They baked cookies together and we threw an impromptu tea party.  As you well know, tea parties are fancy and attendees must dress the part.  I require no less than neckties for the boys and gaudy jewerly for the girls.  The table was set.  The tea was poured and cookies divided.  We discussed our favorite princesses as we sipped out tea with pinkies extended.  Then the door bell rang.  James' neighborhood friends had come to see if he could play, but instead they said "Dude, why are you wearing a tie?!"  James, who was wearing the tie to get cookies, ripped off the tie as fast as he could and ran away for some quality time with the guys.

You might enjoy this video of Stephen Colbert preparing for Will & Kate's wedding by learning proper English manners, in which he learns that one does not stick one's pinky out when drinking tea:
