Horrible horrible present mix up involving sex toys. I have to go back in an hour.

I just met my best friend for a coffee, to give her her 30th Birthday present before she goes off for a childfree sexfest week in Mauritius with her DH as a 30th Birthday present Envy. I got her a pair of very naughty Agent Provocateur, knickers, karma sutra guide, hand cuffs, a feather boa, and this chocolatey lube stuff .I hasten to add this was intended as a joke, I actually got her a day at a spa. She unwrapped a boys top from Zara Kids, a small puzzle and a power ranger action doll thingy.

This means the 4 year old boy whose party my DT'S are at has unwrapped her present. Shock Shock Shock Shock Shock. I know for a fact it has been opened as there had been a small mix up with times, and they had to wait 10 minutes to be allowed into the soft play, and so when I was leaving the birthday boy's mum was calling them over to open presents to pass the time.

WHY did I use identical wrapping paper? But more importantly what do I do when I go to fetch them in an hour? Even worse, the whole of their nursery room was invited, plus a few other friends, the majority of which are there. Doubly doubly worse, I was the only mum/nanny to leave, so they will all know.

HELP

RudolphLovesoftplay · 07/01/2014 05:28

This is brilliantly funny. Gutted it's a zombie thread :)

Youarejustwordsonascreenpeople · 07/01/2014 05:09

This is a Zombie Thread and is 3 years old so I doubt we will get any sort of update.

do you have an update on this event eg any comments from other people that attended the party ect. (quite funny, although i can see from the ops point of view about it being quite an embarrassing situation).

What did your friend say when she opened the wrong present?!

Is there any way you can get hold of a pair of those joke glasses with nose and moustache attached? You could collect ds in disguise Grin

PinkToeNails · 06/05/2011 10:29

Brilliant. I know this is old, but I have just read it and it brought tears to my eyes I was laughing so much.

MumGoneCrazy · 21/01/2011 13:59

I read this when it was posted and I nearly peed myself Grin

OP if you see this what did happen when you took them back to school?

LongtimeinBrussels · 21/01/2011 13:24

Ah, have just seen that it's in Classics so it must have been (it was linked through from another thread).

LongtimeinBrussels · 21/01/2011 13:20

This is SO funny! How did it not make the round-up?

Jacksmama · 09/01/2011 00:04

Oh dear :o
I'm sorry, it was so funny to read but I wouldn't want to be you right now - here, have some wine!

An update (well not much of it if any of you are interested):

I (well DH as I've commandeered his phone), has received a lot of texts about the, ahem, incident, from both parents in attendance, and those they've told. In short, basically the whole of our DC social circle knows. Blush. I'm also pretty sure that the nursery staff know, or will know, as well because one of the Mum's at the party volunteers at the school, likes a big gossip and is very pally with all the teachers. At least we are moving in May.

I haven't yet seem the other mum, apparently she wasn't too impressed, though hopefully she has realised it was a genuine mistake, I wasn't trying to corrupt her PFB and turn him into some nympho 4 year old. Hmm. That said, the DT's go back to nursery on Monday, though as DD had a (very minor) operation on Friday I might keep them both till Tuesday as she has to stay relatively sedentary until the steri- strips come out.

Please, please think of me come Monday (or Tuesday).

Dumb?
Surely it doesn't come into it.

I've wrapped up presents (admittedly not of sexy adult/small child pairing) and had to unwrap them to double check which is which.

All too easy to think you're certain you know which is which and have a mix up.

What was the fallout OP?

Any update?

controlfreakyhohohohohohoho · 07/01/2011 17:54

Hmm Biscuit Bear

DownyEmerald · 07/01/2011 17:41

it's a wind-up right? nobody is that dumb?

Jacksmama · 06/01/2011 23:59

Oh

fuck

me

I just laughed so hard that my co-worker in the office three doors down from me came to look Blush Grin

Oh shit

Come emigrate here to the West Coast of Canada. That should be far enough away.

whethergirl · 06/01/2011 23:54

OMG this is just brilliant. Am marking my place to wait for text photo.

edam · 06/01/2011 18:52

That'll teach you to use different wrapping paper in future. And teach the birthday child's mother NOT to open presents at parties! Am sure she'll be laughing about it later, even if she did have a sense of humour failure at the start.

tassisssss · 06/01/2011 14:15

funniest thread in a long time!

perfectstorm · 04/01/2011 18:36

I'm thinking this strait-laced American mother's DH is going to get a pleasant surprise this evening.
