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 ânapkins' 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 of 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!"
