Amanda usually makes me a tea in the morning. Fairly
standard stuff. An opaque mixture of Earl Grey tea with milk and
sugar. The tea bag is the kind that doesn’t have a string attached to it
and Amanda usually leaves it in the tea and it sinks to the bottom. This
morning it seemed a bit off….no biggie. Maybe a different brand of
tea? So I get to the bottom of my tea. Usually the best part
because the sugar has settled and it’s a bit sweeter. In depths of the
tea emerges this soggy curved misshapen mass that sloshes into my lip.
“What the -blank- is this?” I ask Amanda. She looks at it and says,
“Oh, that’s a doggie chew. I was wondering where that went!”
