You're telling me? The neighbors sit all day on the steps outside and trade napkins, the empty
shoeboxes are comming to use to.

Thanks for the warning!! Has it gotten to Israel yet? I will have my mother fill up a suitcase with them and have my daughter to sell them to pay for her Bas Mitzvah!

Do you mean the girls try to get a single paper napkin in each available design?

Thankfully I don't think this trend will ever come here. Our kids are too busy distracting themselves with video games.

Maybe it's like a trousseau type thing and they're starting early? Everyone knows how hard it is to get dates, but the girls who can bring the best in paper napkins into the marriage will have a leg up.

interestingly enough my dd started doing the same thing as a kid w/o even knowing about mine Wink

Throughout the years there were always some girls who collected napkins, just like stamp collections. Now theres a craze, which will last a few months, and then what will happen to all those napkins? I guess by the next simcha the mothers will have to set the tables with an assortment of 100 different napkins. It'll become a new style, pretty, no?

Huh?? You mean like instead of collecting barbies or stationary they get napkins? This would not go over well by my daughter and her friends...
