"Special Occasions"

(as copy and pasted from email....LOL)

My mother taught me to read when I was 3 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 tails 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!"
