Coffee and Tea snobs

A couple of weeks ago ( See Saturday Sept 8th post ) Alanna posted a blog concerning our trip to tea country In that particular blog she made many a disparaging comment about my being a tea snob. Like most times in our marriage she is completely wrong and I just thought I should take it upon myself to set the record straight. "My name is Scott Thompson and I am not a beverage snob". I am quite happy to drink any kind of coffee swill that is prepared and set before me. I always start my day with a steaming cup of instant coffee. I frequently go to Mcdonald’s for coffee. I prefer gas station coffee to almost anything and will thoroughly enjoy any type of coffee that the Bey’s prepare for us, especially if Tegan helps to make it.

My momma raised a simple boy with simple tastes. However, this common sense is always under pressure from my high brow sophis wife. I am continually being told that “Well in Grande Prairie we certainly wouldn’t drink that swill.” This of course is said with that haughty uptown kind of accent that she has. My mom was right when she acknowledged that any snobbiness or any negative characteristic of any type developed on my part is entirely her fault.

P.S. We are busily packing and trying to fit in as many kilos of tea into our bags so we don’t have to drink that tea bag garbage

Make it a great day
