Mother Goose Monday: A Tea Pary

, a photo by Amy Merrill1 on Flickr.

Mother Goose has been invited to a a Mother's Day Tea Party! She's received her invitation and is ready for tea. Two rhymes that go perfectly for this time of year are: "Polly Put the Kettle On" and "I'm a Little Teapot!"

Mother Goose has brought her tea kettle, tea, cup and saucer, as well as a little tablecloth, and a dainty doily. What perfect time to talk about etiquette (party manners) for a tea party! Don't forget to lift your cup and hold out your pinky as you sip your tea!

We’ll all have tea.

Sukey, take it off again.
