Another joke for the slow moving thursday...
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 t able. 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 easier to just tell the truth????????? Pass this on to your
girlfriends who need a good laugh. !
