Isn't it easier to just tell the truth?

Subject: The Good Napkins I got this from my sister today and had to share it with all of you.


This cracked me up! Tell me you all didn't wonder about these when you were little!! THE GOOD NAPKINS...ahhhhh...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....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!!!"
Isn't it easier to just tell the truth?????????

Oh my.....*rotfl**rotfl**rotfl**rotfl**rotfl*

That picture reminds me of my youngest son. He had wanted to play football with the big boys as a toddler. They told him that he couldn't play unless he had on, you guessed it pads. That boy went and got into my brand new extra large economy last for at least 2 months bag. He very carefully placed the pads on his body. He placed extra layers where he thought he would need more. He even put the paper strips into the garbage. He was very well padded for playing football by the time he was done. He even got to play with the big boys. Me, well, I was laughing so hard I was crying. (At least once I got past the "that kid is wearing my brand new maxi pads" bit.)

[DoñaNina]

That's terribly funny...

[wyland]

At a previous job I worked we used the large maxi pads for extra filtration inside our respirators. They were great even stuck to the mask. There was a guy that worked there with us that refused to do the same because what they were supposed to be for. One day we stuck them into his lunch pail before he went home. Well to make a long story short he was RAVING MAD when he got to work the next day. We all thought it was funny, I guess his wife didn't think the same. Some people cant take a joke I guess:lol:

[renren]

My lovely little 3 yr old sticks them to anything she can if she gets ahold of them, little stinker!

Eowyn seems to prefer tampons.....she uses them like party twirlers and swings 'em around by the string....

there's also an amusing story about a little boy who was pretty sure his mom was hiding some popsicles under that bathroom sink....

I agree completely! *rotfl* *rotfl* *rotfl* Meow let's out that great sigh that comes after a hearty laugh and wipes her eyes. Oh, damn, I'll have to get up and find a towel to wipe the keyboard.

[Mistress Morigianna]

then:
i remember babysitting and hearing normal shoot um up noises from the kids room. After 10 minutes there was a quiet 5 and then more shooting.

I went to look cause of the quiet 5....

they ran out of ammo so were shooting tampons at each other yelling Torpedo 1! fIRE! Phew phew bang bang....

mom was not ammused when she got home because they had gotten in trouble for this before......

Now:
I come home and the bathroom is a mess, coubards all open- stuff everywhere and I hear scrabbling and crinkle noises.....
I yell "damn it Sabastian How did you get inside the sealed tupperware!"
My cat loves the crinkle of tampons and hides them all over the house. He brings them out when i have company to play.... :roll:

Those heart earrings are just too....used for comfort.

My little brother, when he was 5 or 6 years old, found a box of my mother's tampons, and took them all apart to create parachutes for his army figurines.

Yeah, I gotta agree with that! Ew.

LOL a definite resemblance to parachutes when, well, "fanned out"! If little boys in anyone's acquaintance like to play "Underwater Explorer" with their G.I. Joes, look out, because these little seascooter thingies would be pretty easy to craft out of tamponage. Maybe too absorbent to actually WORK, but...
