#579 – what tea ceremony?
Yes we’re doing a “tea ceremony” but it’s not really a tea ceremony per se.
I come from a large family of alcoholics, there is no tea. The tea is replaced with bourbon/cognac/snake wine (if that existed here).
I only learnt this yesterday whilst shopping with my mum for some tea sets when my mum was like “well we just need to get some nice new cups, small ones that look like shot glasses” and im like “why? dont we pour tea?”
and the answer is NO..
they pour alcohol -_-” and apparently the aunts (including my mum) pretend to take a sip- just out of respect… however my dad says no MAN would ever pretend to take a shot. HAHAH -just too disgraceful if that was the case.
and then i remembered at my friends wedding they did the same thing… so maybe it’s not just my alcoholic crazy family.
BUT what the hell!?!?!? now that’s one more bottle of alcohol we have to fork out for.
wtf
