Boka Tov; (Good Morning)
My cousin send me this last night and I debated wheter to post it or not. But it is just too cute and frankly, something I might have done.
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!!!"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!

Hi Laini,
I wonder if this is a true story ... is quite funny nevertheless! This was just something your cousin was passing along, right?

LOL! That was a good one, Lainie. Thanks for sharing it!
Marty: yes, it was just a story my cousin passed on. It could well be one of those "myths" floating about. But it would not surprise me if some little girl or boy, really did that :)
