I've gotten back in to drinking hot tea before bed again. For the last several nights, when I ask Jilda if she wanted hot tea, she's said no.
Tonight when I asked, she decided she wanted some Red Zinger. She went to the office to write in her blog and I put a kettle of water on the stove before coming in to do my update as well.
I was still in the key tapping mode when I heard the kettle begin to whistle, so I went to the kitchen to make the tea.
I alway take honey in my Camomile tea, but I wasn't sure how Jilda takes hers so I called to her from the kitchen -- do you want honey in your Zinger? A pause....."What?
More slowly.....Do you want honey in your Zinger.
Another long pause....... "What?
But this time there was a change in tone and pacing. I could tell she was trying to decided if I was making some kind of twisted, sexual joke.
I stepped to the living room so she could hear me better and I said slowly -- Do you want honey in your Red Zinger Tea? She laughed out loud.
You won't believe what I thought you were saying.
But I did.

I have no idea what she thought you were saying, but I do love me a cup of Red Zinger tea with honey and just a splash or orange juice.
