The "Good" Napkins

Just couldn't resist giving you a good laugh today!
Teaching the "facts of life" is a real art!
Who is setting your table for Thanksgiving this year?

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!"
Isn't it easier to just tell the truth?

8) :p ;-) :lol:
 
That is too funny. When I was a kid, we played army with em lighting the strings like dynamite. Mom wasn't a happy camper. :lol:
 
Perfect reason for Just Telling the Truth!

Along those same lines, my sister was having a garage sale and her daughter (around 5 yrs old at the time) was helping. One of the things for sale was a box of napkins. A lady picked them up and my neice said loudly "Those are brand new, they've never been used!
