Oh I have a UO...I don't think napkins are necessary for every meal.  I only use napkins for extremely messy meals.  It drives me crazy at parties when someone automatically hands me a napkin along with my food because I rarely need one.  But I guess I'm a freak because people are always asking where the napkins are at my house, lol.

ETA: And I always feel so ridiculous putting the napkin in my lap at restaurants!  I don't recall a single instance of ever dropping food onto my lap, but I do it because, you know, when in Rome...

My Dh rarely uses napkins (I contribute this to his ability to eat in 5 minutes and the fact he eats half his food in one bite) but DD and I always use napkins. We are messy eaters.

@ElleBeeDub What type of fabric are your napkins? I was just looking online..I feel like cotton would be better than anything else.

We use cotton ones. My parents' are mixed (cotton and polyester), and I always hated using them because they didn't absorb anything. To combat stains (the problem with cotton) we avoid by not using white. Instead, we have a red set and a (bold) blue set.

I did not know how to cook much of anything when I moved out on my own at 22. Although my mom cooked for us almost every night, she hates to cook and did not enjoy teaching us how to do it at all. Plus my parents were so demanding that we spend so much time on school work that there was very little time for anything else (sports, social life, cooking skills, who needs 'em?). I still feel like I rely heavily on recipes. I also definitely covet better cutting skills.

I had a similar experience. My mom and grandma both hated cooking. Our meals were always pretty basic and baked goods were store bought or, rarely, from a lot package. I still struggle to make a pretty cake-its usually delicious but a mess.

My UO is that I dislike most internet and text abbreviations. If you see me use DH, I probably mean dick head. But I still mean my husband of course.

My pastry blender is in Seattle so I've been cutting through butter with two knives. Which I learned in home ec a million years ago, because they didn't have enough pastry blenders to around.

I know it's Friday, but I now have an UO. Telling me that you believe something 10,000% will not make me believe it too. It will just make me want to slap you and tell you that that isn't a friggin number.

But, but, but... Then how will I ever go on Maury claiming that I am confident of my child's paternity A BILLION PERCENT, MAURY!
