THE GOOD NAPKINS

Ahhhh... 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 unecessary 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, you said they were
for special occasions!!!"

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

Ive read this many times, and get a good giggle each time I read it again :)

Oh how I remember those days of the kotex tails and belts. How did we endure those things. Much rather have the self adhesive ones.... lol
This one also gives me a reason to smile when I read it.
Thanks for jogging my memory on this one.

Love ya
