Or, little people, I should say. ;)
Yesterday, I was feeling pretty sick and just all around achy and awful.
My nephews and nieces were over (this is not the cause of the sick, achy, awful, I promise) and they are all absolutely adorable, I might say. Not only because they're related to me, either. (Insert wicked grin here.)
So, I was sitting all curled up in a ball and my little niece Rebekah came up to me and asked, in her very high-pitched, cutesy pixie voice, if I wanted a tea.
"Sure," I said, "tell Auntie Elena to make one for me, please."
Rebekah trotted off, and I didn't think any more about it.
A few minutes later she came back, carrying a tea for me. "Ethan and I made you a tea," she said as she put it down in front of me. (Imagine her extremely high, adorable voice) "We didn't even stir it, we just put the tea bag in, Ethan poured the hot water, and we put in rice milk because you can't have real milk." It seems they thought of everything!
I thanked her a lot, feeling better already. Cuteness has that effect, I think. She was beaming because she had made her Auntie a tea when she was sick.
Ethan came in and I thanked him too, and his face lit up. I could tell they were happy to have made it, and that made me happier.
Yes, I felt a whole lot better after that.
It's just one of those simple blessings, you know?
AWWWWWW!!!!! That's adorable!! And, it's not just because they're MY kids. :D
ReplyDeleteSo, was it drinkable? ;) It wasn't herbal or anything, I hope.
It was a green tea, and it was quite drinkable, and rather good, too. And their being YOUR kids was a part of it. We all know it. Might as well say it. :)
ReplyDeleteAww, so tute. Those Pentlands are terribly cute.
ReplyDeleteHey! I was reading your profile, Linda, and I saw one of your favourite books "All that Glitters", and you were supposed to lend that to me and you never did! Rotten you.
