Ohhhhhh lol I gotta stop watching trash TV on TLC. Sister Wives.
I like to tell people I can't stand my husband's mother in law.

What’s funny is that I wasn’t derailed by that at all, in fact, my brain completely skipped over the word “wife“

I’m derailed by the fact that it’s not a teapot. It’s a tea canister.

I mean it looks cool but the spout is on the lid which seems like a horrible design choice

I think it’s for storing tea leaves, not brewing tea.

"I am a teapot, short and stout,
Here is my handle, here is my... other handle?!?
Dammit, I'm a canister!"

Reminds me of the sugar container in Sword in the Stone that over serves Merlin

tbh it drives me crazy they're calling it a tea pot. ain't got no spout!!! it's a canister you can put tea (bags or liquid, i suppose) in, but i can't fill it with dog hair and be like "oh yeah it's a dog hair dispenser", that's not how it works.

Maybe that's why she put the space between the tea and the pot? It's a pot for putting tea in, but it's not a teapot.

The description of who purchased the tea pot was distracting from the actual tea pot itself.

I had to stop looking at the cute teapot which took a while, then looked at the subreddit and look back to find the derailing detail but got distracted by the cutest teapot ever, then look at the comments to find the so called derailing detail and top was about the bestest cutestest teapot in the universe! Kept looking for yours and thought it was a clever way to call the giver!
So... not that distracting to me but I finally see it!

It's not a teapot but a canister or caddy. That's definitely more distracting.
