The Napkin Story!

I have been meaning to tell this story for some days now, well I'm finally getting to it. So I happened to mention out loud that we were out of napkins. Brad quickly chimed in to say, "we aren't out of napkins there's a huge pack of ASU napkins in there".  Say what? My facial expression was one of complete annoyance as well as being baffled. He didn't just say open the "ASU napkins" did he? Soon as he noticed the look on my face he responds with, "what?...I don't know why you don't open those so we can use them?"  My face is still expressing confusion! Clearly my husband has fallen and hit his head since he's suggesting we use the treasured ASU napkins!

I quickly and loudly remind him, "my mother-in-law purchased those napkins in an online auction. Those are never getting used!" They are ASU NAPKINS, they're priceless! We live in Dallas, it's not everyday I can get ASU napkins. However, I can purchase Longhorn napkins any time. I then add, "It's like a Star Wars souvenir to me!" He laughs and rolls his eyes, then says, "you mean those things are going to follow us around, never getting used?"....I emphatically announce, "you better believe it!...Okay, if they make it to the National Championship or the Rose Bowl I'll consider opening them but not until then." He turns to Piper to tell her, "those napkins are likely to outlive you young one!"  Perhaps! But no time soon will they be opened, I guarantee it!!!! ;)

ASU is not known for great basketball but I understand this year they are making some noise, so if by some twist of fate they dominate March Madness and wind up in the final four, I might have to reconsider when to break into the ASU napkins! Although I must say I picture opening them up some day when ASU football faces off against whomever in the National Championship or Rose Bowl. Something BIG!
