Sweet All Over's blog: "Jokes"

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!!!'
