THE GOOD NAPKINS
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 napkin and a fork tucked into the fold.

LOL. I won't mention any names, but I know some twins that stuck napkins all over the bathroom some years ago. Their Grandfather walked in and caught them. LOL.
Have a great evening, and thanks for the laugh.
And thank you for causing me to remember another funny occasion. LOL.

An awesome story! I needed a good laugh and you provided!
I'll be careful around my kids not to make the same mistake! Kids DO take everything we say so concretely!
