Napkins for Special Occasions
(Got this via e-mail today - too cute not to share!)
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!"
ROFL!!!!!!!!! OM!! Thats too funny!!!!
Reminds me of a time when I had (ahem) pink liquid douche bottles under my bathroom sink. My DD kept asking me what they were, she was 4 yrs old, she says "Mom these look like pink lemonade"
I laughed, said "Yea, Abbie thats what they are, now put them back."
No more was ever said about it.......Until one day I ran out of kool-aid, at her Birthday party, she heard me say I didn't have any kool aid for the kids, she runs to the bathroom, gets my *kool-aid bottles * with the *neat* straws, and yells (in front of family, and everyone) "HERE MOM!! NOW YOU HAVE KOOL-AID, I FOUND EM IN THE BATHROOM, IT'S PINK LEMONADE WITH THESE COOL STRAWS!!"
I wanted to crawl under the kitchen table, and not come out until everyone left! My face I am sure turned 3 shades of red!! rofl!!
Very cute. Brings back some memories, but not as severe. But I remember asking my mom why napkins were in the bathroom too. She told me they were "special napkins" as well. 
Good Lord!!! I'd die!!!! ROFLMAO!!!! Remind me to either hide my personals or tell the truth b/c I'd hate to go through that!
My mom told me they were bandages!
Lexi knows what a pad and a tampon is and basically what a period is but she's 5 so sometimes stuff comes out different than it went in... the other day apparently a pad had fallen out of my purse ( unused of course) and ended up under the table she comes running in to me yelling Mom! There's a period under the table!!
LOL, too funny, Mellisa.
