THE GOOD NAPKINS

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 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!!!'



Life is too short for drama and petty
things,

so for heavens sake, use the good
napkins whenever you can!
