THE GOOD NAPKINS...

[S.K.]

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? < BR>

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 g one.

 

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.

 

< FONT f ace=Arial>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?! ????????

Oh my gosh, this is so funny! I have to add a story -

 

My friend's son had been asking and asking for new knee pads for his skateboard. One day, after coming in to use the bathroom, he runs through the house yelling, "HEY MOM, THANKS FOR THE NEW KNEE & ELBOW PADS, THEY'RE GREAT!"

 

My friend looked up from her work, startled - she had NOT bought any new knee pads - or elbow pads, for that matter. She walked into the bathroom and noticed her new box of Kotex open...ran to the window and saw her son skateboarding in the drive with her Kotex stuck on his arms and knees.

 

She locked up her 'personals' after that.
