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 as ajar. I read

the box in the cabinet. I thenasked 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 s into further fits of laughter.

"But, Mom, you said they were for special occasions!!!"

Isn't it easier to just tell the truth?????????

Pass this on to your friends who need a good laugh.
