The Good Napkins
This cracked me up! Tell me you all didn't wonder about these when you were little!!
THE GOOD NAPKINS... ahhhhh... the joys of having Girls...
My mother taught me to read when I was four years old (her first mistake). One day, I was in the bathroom and
noticed one of the cabinet doors
was ajar.
I read the box in the cabinet. I then asked my mother why she was keeping 'napkins' in the bathroom. Didn't they belong in the kitchen?
Not wanting to burden me with unnecessary facts, she told me
that those were for 'special occasions' (her second mistake).
Now fast forward a few months....
It's Thanksgiving Day, and my
folks are leaving to pick up my
uncle and his wife for dinner.
Mom had assignments for all of
us while they were gone.
Mine was to set the table.
When they returned, my uncle
came in first and immediately burst into laughter. Next came his wife
who gasped, then began giggling. Next came my father, who roared
with laughter .
Then came Mom, who almost died
of embarrassment when she saw each place setting on the table with
a 'special occasion' Kotex napkin
at each plate, with the fork carefully arranged on top. I had even tucked the little tail in so they didn't hang
off the edge!!
My mother asked me why I used
these and, of course, my response sent the other adults into further
fits of laughter.
'But, Mom, yo u said they were
for special occasions!!!'
Isn't it easier to just tell the truth?! ????????
Pass this on to your girlfriends
who need a good laugh. !
