One of my favourite moments when I was a child was when my mother come to me and say: "OK Sarah..It's tea time"..... well.. I don't like tea that much.. So... it's not about tea :D...
We used everyday -my mother and me- to have tea with each other... and during this time she talks to me about many things... literature... history.. art... every thing.. It was just like the bedtime stories for me... I loved those moments so much.. and I loved her way of trying to teach me something useful....
So.. Everyday, I spend it waiting for her to tell me those three magical words: "It's tea time"... The funny part is that sometimes there is no tea at all... Sometimes we drink juice or any other drink that makes us sit down for sometime... through time it turned out to be a password more than a description...
This tea time taught me many beautiful things... It made the world look wider and wider for me.. and thanks to this tea time I learned the most beautiful thing in this world... reading... I learned what does it mean to open a book and live inside it.. what does it mean to travel through place and time and go in some other new world.. discover it.. and come back... and I knew what does it mean to use these worlds as a comfort for you in your very hard times...
Time passed... and I became too busy with my stuff.. and mama became too busy with my little sister.. too many things have changed... one of them is the "tea time"... but I still remember it... and I still owe my precious mother this incredible time that I spent with her... I owe her this magical world that she gave to me and which I am still enjoying...
So..Don't you think it's time to let your kids have there own tea time?

A time for socializing and talking to others is quality time. It's time that has high value in our lives. I think we should try to value such time and give it more priority than other activities.
It is really nice!
I think Sara we all miss these moments with our Mama..
Years ago.. I consider my mother eyes are my eyes to the world.. i adore aking her "Mama, hewa da kewayes?" and what she is saying is the right answer..when i left her for the first time I faced the very big difficulty in dealing with such world.. our mamas make our life much easier
It's an interesting comment specially if seen and extended to an even broader perspective of how values in general are getting diluted in the busy routines of our lifestyles that we have become too busy to live.
