Reminds Me of Childhood


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, so 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 at each plate, with the fork
carefully arranged on top. I had even tucked in the tails 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!!!"
