Jenny and the Tea Mystery
27 Feb
Jenny had always had a cup of tea as soon as she woke up. Right after she went to the bathroom. And ate her breakfast. And did her housework. And finished watching a few soap operas, which really don’t have anything to do with singing opera, or using soap while singing opera for that matter, on her television.
But first thing in the morning, at about 2pm, she had a cup of tea.
So, it was quite a shock to Jenny when she went to get a tea bag from her tea bag holding thing and there weren’t any left.
“Auuuuggghhh!” said Jenny. “Where are all my tea bags?”
But no one answered her. Not the budgie that was sleeping with his head on a pillow that looked surprisingly like a tea bag. Nor the hamster that was dipping something that looked suspiciously like a tea bag in it’s water dish. Or the cat who was batting at something that looked like a tea bag on a string. Or the dog who was polishing a bone with a cloth that looked like a tea bag.
No one appeared to know where the tea bags had gone. Which didn’t help Jenny one bit.
“What can I do? screeched Jenny. “Without my tea my day is ruined.”
Jenny’s screeching startled the budgie who then threw the tea bag looking pillow from his cage into the tea bag holding thing.
The screeching startled the hamster as well and since hamsters aren’t really all that bright it blamed the water dish with the bag in it for the problem. And it promptly threw the bag out of it’s cage where it also landed in the tea bag thing.
The screeching annoyed the cat but it just kept playing with the thing that looked like a tea bag on a string. The cat did, however, wish that Jenny would shut up.
The dog thought Jenny must have noticed he peed on her carpet and he tossed the cloth that looked like a tea bag. The bag flew into the tea bag holder thing and the dog headed for the door with his now shiny bone.
“What the heck?” said Jenny noticing that there were 3 tea bags in her tea bag holding thing. “I must be going insane. I’m sure there weren’t any tea bags there before.”
And then she laughed as only an insane person can. Or as a normal person who is imitating an insane person can I suppose.
So, opening her cupboard to get her favorite teacup….
“Auugghhh!” said Jenny. “My teacup is missing. Where is my teacup?”
But of course no one answered her. Especially her pet mouse who was hiding from the cat under a teacup shaped object..
I live alone, and this kinda thing happens to me sometimes too. Now I know who to question first.
It’s always the one you would least expect, ha,ha..
I wonder if she used those teabags..
If she did, she probably gave up tea drinking shortly afterwards
True..or at least switched brands..
