Title: The good napkins
Post by Tiannia on Nov 27^th, 2007, 1:14pm

Thought I would share this with you all. A friend sent this to me and a laugh was good. Gotta love kids, they can get ya everytime.

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 tails 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!!!"

Life is too short for drama & petty things,
so kiss slowly,
laugh insanely,
love truly, and
forgive quickly!
