Tracey's Triangle - Not my Cup of Tea

The T
The Tea Train
The Tea Train of Thought

The best part of tea is holding the warm cup.

It makes me think of the Tea Party.
Not the Alice in Wonderland kind, or the ones I would have as a kid with my fisher price plastic set with water and cookies, and not those pseudo-republican types, but of the real Boston Tea Party: Yankees throwing the British tea overboard

I think of Felicity (the American Girl) who refused to drink tea stating that she "shall take no tea".

I think of the quote from Dear Blank Please Blank:

Americans,
You'd have cool accents too if you didn't throw all that tea in the water.
Sincerely, 
The British 
and then I think I remember hearing something about Accents and how American English really hasn't changed from 'original' English and how the Hoity-toity Brits could have cool accents like us. 

and then I find this article that confirms what I remember hearing: American/British Accents

then I get to the end where it says: except Boston. 
So with my great grandfather being from England and the Boston/Rhode Island accent that slips from my usual normal general american newscasters english I guess I'll just hold my tea and shut up. 
I like trains.
