Are you gathering up the tea leaves?
Have you had enough of mine?

The story:

My husband and I were playing
SongBurst with friends. We got
"Reeling in the Years," and since
hubby had screwed up three of the
last four songs, I elbowed him in the
ribs and said, "I know this one!" I
belted it out at the top of my lungs, so
positive I was right. And everybody
looked at me like I was crazy.

Husband said, "Tea leaves? What
the heck does that mean?"

"I don't know but that's how the song
goes."

"No it doesn't. It's tears, not tea
leaves."

"Tears? No way."

"Yes way -- look!" They showed me
the card and by gum, there it was,
tears instead of tea leaves.

I don't think my version is better but
it would be a lot easier to gather up
spilled tea leaves than somebody's
tears.
