A stellar example of a parenting fail.
When a child is raised to believe that the rectangular paper cloth used to wipe your mouth at the table is called a Nakin. This usually results from an initial mispronunciation at a young age followed by a lack of grammatical correction on the parents part. It can be very embarrassing for the misguided child when he is publicly humiliated by his peers after he asks for a "nakin" at the dinner table. The telling of this story later in life will most likely cause someone to have the best day of their life.
