This was an email from my aunt... now you see where I get my sense of humor:
This is for girls everywhere.
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 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!!!'
Pass this on to your girlfriends who need a good laugh or anyone who has a daughter!
Life is too short for drama and petty things, So kiss slowly, laugh insanely, love truly, And forgive quickly....and for heavens sake, use the good napkins whenever you can!
Hope you got a laugh. Happy Friday!
