Also, hotting the pot makes it less likely to be so cool that
pouring the boiling water in will crack it.
good to see you again, Wacky, and Bo! You can tell Bo, I got me an uppity puppy almost a month ago... There's a photo or two over in my corner of the Blogisphere...

Your mother told you to wash the teapot before using it in case there was a spider tangled up inside.

Whackydotter & Bo.
I have a stool like that luv. Mom asked you to rinse the pot with hot water first to get it ready and hot to brew the tea in. She made that tea the 'proper Brit way' did your mum. Blah ya's, hug Bo

Whacky, your step stool made me think of the cute little foot stool that sis bought me when I hurt my toe. She thought I might need it somewhere to elevate my foot. I sat it against a wall in the dining room until I decided where to use it and Pitiful adopted it for her own. Now I couldn't move it somewhere if I wanted to. It has a puffy top and little tassles that hang down all the way around and I'm sure the cat would be highly offended if I rested my foot on it.

Crackpot Whacky! Isn't that redundant?
Whacky,
I fully expected to read that you fell off the step stool! They should be renamed, "fall stools!" They should come with tiedowns and handrails. Glad to know that everything worked out fine. You are definately NOT a crackpot!

Hilarious! But I gotta tell you something: your Mom told you to rinse out your teapot with hot water! That's the part you forgot, the 'hot'...'cause that keeps the tea hotter, longer, since the pot has been pre-warmed...I know all that 'cause my Mom told me the same thing! Yeah, even boys get house-keeping tips from their Moms sometimes..., and a scratch behind the ears for =^..^=

While I sip my cuppa (I needed one after this)
I ponder still how all those papers and mail ended up on the stool so quick. You sound too much like myself.
kisses and hugs for you and for Bo from Kabumom.
