The Good Napkins!

There was one emial that just made me laugh out loud...and yes even cry...and here it is:

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