How is the proper way to place napkin on lap?

To properly place a napkin on your lap, first wait until all diners are seated and the host has placed their napkin on their lap. Then, gently unfold your napkin and lay it across your lap with the fold facing towards your body. Ensure it covers your lap adequately to catch any food spills. If you need to leave the table temporarily, place the napkin on your chair rather than on the table.
