My mother taught me
to read when I was three 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".
Now fast-forward a few months.....It's Thanksgiving Day, and my
folks are leaving to pick up the pastor 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, the pastor 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 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.
"Mom, you SAID they were for special occasions!"
