I received this in an email today — and had to share… espe­cially since I don’t have any girls…

The joys of hav­ing Girls. 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. Its 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 (her third mistake).

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!!!’

Pass this on to your girl­friends and daugh­ters who need a
good laugh
or any­one who has a daughter!

Life is too short
for drama & petty things, so kiss slowly,
laugh insanely, love
truly and for­give quickly, and for heav­ens sake, use
the good
nap­kins when­ever you can.
