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

Serves them right for opening presents at the party - v poor form, IMO.

Just be grateful you didn't buy your friend, as part of her present, a rabbit... :o

Thank you for improving my first day back in the office.

You will be grateful for this hilarious story you can reel out at dinner parties, one day, it may take a few years though!! Grin

"The ball pit is now closed and staff are hosing off each ball"

I'm sorry but until that point I was mildly amused and feeling very sorry for you, OP. Now I am laughing out loud too.

You poor thing!!

Any chance you could disappear into your friends suit case and leave the country with her for the week? Things might have calmed down by then!

I hope the other mummy is laughing too. To be honest if I were the birthday boys mummy, I'd ham it up to you and wet myself laughing .

I gave BF the contents of the bag as it was her present, but the AP knickers weren't there, and I don't think I can ring either PFB's mum or the soft play Blush Blush.

I don't have a phone due to the bath incident last night but I will ask her to text a photo to DH, and I will try and work out how to upload it.

There was a similar post to this earlier

Ooh, I second the request for a photo of presents. I want to admire the AP scanties, for one. Grin

squashedfrogs · 04/01/2011 16:28

Oooooh look what's made it into Classics! Grin

KalokiMallow · 04/01/2011 16:25

It does really, take a photo of the presents!

DullWomenHaveImmaculateHomes · 04/01/2011 16:21

I want to believe you bambi, really I do but it just sounds too goddamn good to be true Hmm

PrettyCandlesAndTinselToo · 04/01/2011 16:16

They're just jealous. And impressed. Grin

Remember: hold your head high. Don't act ashamed.

MrsYamada · 04/01/2011 16:15

You should have asked if anyone had handed the knickers into lost property. Grin Don't worry about it, sure most people just thought it was hilarious!

I am trying to think of something constructive and sympathetic to type.

Grin

Sorry.

Right so we are back home and that was horrific BlushBlushBlushBlushBlushBlush.

PFB's mum graciously accepted the real present and the flowers, and listened to me grovel explain the mix up, but didn't look too impressed and handed me a carrier bag with 'the present'. Blush. I grabbed this and the DT's and ran. They then got very upset because they forgot their party bags and I wouldn't let them go back.

I got several 'knowing looks' from the other mums/ nanny's there but didn't stay long enough for any conversation. I am dreading the start of term.

Also I just read back the last few pages and I wish this was just trollery I really do. I think the only reason they started cleaning the ball pool was because they thought it was a leaking nappy, otherwise I highly doubt they would have bothered. I could't bring myself to ask if they stopped once they realised what it actually was. Blush.
