The good napkins
A friend of mine sent this to me today. It cracked me up! Tell me you all didn’t wonder about these when you were little!!
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?! ????????
Pass this on to your girlfriends who need a good laugh. !
hi..Ms.Flirty..
It was really funny incident that happened to you and I couldn’t control my laugh(lol) after reading it.
I saw my mother’s high up in her wardrobe and she told me they were for me when I got a bit older.
So for years I thought I was getting a pretty pink present.
Oh the disappointment!
hahahaha..ths story reminding me to tell nothing but only the truth to my kids next time….
LOL!!! good thing you were really young, or it would have been even more embarrassing! LOL!
It’s a great Sunday morning laugh…Thankfully it was only close family…That teaches you for not coming clean!
Hahaha! So cute…
fun fun fun.. i told this to my friends and they just can’t stop laughing
LOL….
what a funny story….I bet the table looked an absolute treat too !!!
Thanks for the laugh Flirty!
Now I’ve got one for you: My parents were very open with me as a child about just about everything. So when I was 4 I saw a pregnant lady and her husband (Friends of my family’s) looked at me and asked why I was staring. I said that they were going to have a baby and he ask me if I knew where babies came from and I said that I did. He proceded to ask me if they came from under a cabbage leaf, and (according to my mother) I looked at him like he was crazy, so he asked me if the stork brought them and I apparently put one hand on my hip and shook a finger at him saying, “That’s the stupidest thing I ever heard!” So he asked me where babies came from and I told him that when a mommy and daddy love each other in a special way they make a baby and after growing in the mommy’s tummy for 9 months they just “bloop right out”. My parents said that they were never so proud and embarrassed at the same time (did I mention that my dad’s a Methodist Minister and these friends went to his church?). Sorry for the novel, but your story reminded me of that one and I thought I’d share.
love this story!! my girlfriend told her daughter that the condoms she found were small water balloons…so….you can see where this story is going!
LOL, LOL, LOL! That is sooo funny. What a great “girl” story. I told my daughter, she got a kick out of it too.
Give me a minuet to stop laff’n and I get up off the floor.
