Happy Friday!!

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 Mo m, 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!!!' Pass this on
to your girlfriends who need a good laugh or anyone who has a daughter! Life is
too short for drama & petty things, so kiss slowly, laugh insanely, love truly and
forgive quickly....and for heavens sake, use the good napkins whenever you can!
