Yes, my topic starter was intentionally misleading. Do hope you all enjoy the joke - courtesy of my little sis.
Who is setting your table for Christmas this year?
My mother
taught me to read when I was four years old, which was 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", which was 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!"
Lesson: Isn't it easier to just tell the truth?
OMG that is hillarous! Thanks for sharing
LOL
You have to watch those little white lies around kids! They'll get ya!
Very cute and funny!
It reminds me of a story that Bev (who raised me like her own) told ofher son Greg. When Greg was little he is now in his 50's he went to the bathroom while Bev was entertaining lots of people and came out with femine napkins around his knees. He said "Look Mom, i found some knee pads to play ball in". Bev was so embarrassed and so was Greg> as he got older Bev used to tell that story all the time. LOL
