Come The Share Funny Stuff The Old Folks Said

It was a long time ago. I havent sat for my UPSR yet.

In my hometown, I saw a few tea cups, not the small ones but the normal sized cups used for drinking tea. I realised that those cups were full of black lines in it.

If you didnt wash your cup nicely, you are bound to find a few lines of dirt in it right? But these cups were literally "full of it".

So I asked my aunt, why is the cup so dirty? She says cause it's for making tea, so that tea will taste better. That's the common explanation for coffee cups and wine glasses.

But, she has a punch line.

"Just like in the tea houses ah, if i dont wash my cup for 20 years, when i pour water in only can become tea already."

It does not end there. When I told Shaun about this, he gave me a suggestion.

"Why don't she say use tea to water plants then all become tea leaves."

LOL Shaun!
