DD7 found something of mine she shouldn’t have

[MsWalterMitty]

😱
She found my vibrator in a draw under my bed as she was rooting around for stuff. She has form for going through my things, but this is the 1st time she has found something of this nature 🙈
Luckily it’s a Lelo (I’ll have you know!) so looks nothing like it’s supposed to be and I brushed it off as a foot massager 🙄

Hoping she doesn’t realise in 10yrs time what it actually was and is mortified!

Any stories of similar to share to make me feel better?.... Or in true MN style... feel free to berate me

‘Best’ I ever heard, though it would have been many decades ago now, was when a friend of maybe 10 at the time, found some funny little white things in a drawer of her mother’s - things with loops on the ends.

She thought one of them would make a very nice little hat, like something that was fashionable at the time, with handy loops to go round your ears, too!

She wore it to go and meet her mother from work! 😱
Needless to say her poor mum - coming out of work not alone, but with a lot of colleagues - was utterly mortified.

Am I naive or just being a bit stupid? I can't for the life of me work out what your friend had 😳

I’m trying to work out what this is and I can’t

My boyfriend at the time was a plumber and my sister had a problem with the heating on her return from holiday. He went into the attic and as me and my sister were standing on the landing he threw down her rampant rabbit. She had hidden it there as her MIL had form for being a nosy cow and would have had a rummage around in their absence so she hid it.

I must be a bit thick, not sure what this is supposed to be??

The story was referring to the old
Fashioned sanitary napkins that had loops on them to fit to a belt thing.

One of mine came downstairs with lovely smelling 'gelled' hair. I'm closer inspection she'd found my pina colada flavoured lube 🙈

Lube is actually really great for frizz. It's a recommended product for the curly girl routine 😆

😂 I once found my mum’s only I was about 15 so knew exactly what it was. Very embarrassing.

My mother in law went over to her mum’s to find her massaging her neck with a gadget she’d bought recently. It was a vibrator. I kid you not, she bought it in a charity shop 🤮

She could have just run downstairs with it in her hand excitedly in front of all your friends like my sibling did at a young age. My mum was mortified.

@GETTINGLIKEMYMOTHER

the sanitary belts that used to be popular
i think my ds had one and i found it in her suitcase !

@liveforsummer

What will you do when she has a sore foot and asks to use it? 😬

Sorry darling it broke. Perhaps buy a real massager?!

@MsWalterMitty By the time she knows what it is, she won’t care.
At least not a dick shaped one.
Heads up- we can sed to go hunting for “Rude things” when parents were out for half an hour.

Similar. I asked what they were for, nothing really registered other than the words “special” and “bleeding”. A few weeks later, when my mum having her friends round for coffee and cake and me falling over in the garden and scraping my knee co-incided in an inevitable sort of way, I remembered the special bleeding bandages, and not wanting to bother my mum , helped myself, then wandered downstairs expecting praise for my self sufficiency and bravery.

To be honest I didn’t think it was all that as a bandage , it was huge, I couldn’t tie the strings properly and it kept falling down so I had to sort of hold it on and hobble. It was soft and comforting on my poorly knee though.

Edit: We used to go

@QueenAdreena

There’s a lot of these “here’s my mildly awkward/embarrassing story, tell me yours” threads at the moment, isn’t there?

I was just thinking the same

Although the 'child finds vibrator in drawer' has been done to death on here.

Oh dear OP, this is why my toybox has a lock on it 😂

My sister and I have a pact, if one of us 'kicks the bucket' early, the other one of us will go and collect their toy box to dispose of before our parents or kids can find it.

I knew what white things with loops were, cos of my age, but a rampant rabbit? Ruled out a real life rabbit, tho had a fleeting mental picture of a live one up there. Had to google to find out what it was.

Just missed the 'came into the sitting room & showed my DM, MIL & elderly great-aunt' line 😀

@EarringsandLipstick said child appears with vibrator/dildo during Christmas dinner

Your child needs to know where she’s not allowed to investigate. Do you have no boundaries in your house? That’s not very safe.
You need to find a more secure place for stuff you don’t want revealed, removed or investigated.
My son, when he was 4, was obsessed with pirates and we thought it was lovely and sweet. Until he buried a jewellery box with contents in the garden and wouldn’t tell me where his treasure was.
I had to trick him into making a secret pirate treasure map with me, and then we used it to find the treasure.

Has anyone literally spit tea/coffee/coke/wine on their computer yet at the hilarity of these stories?

That pirate story reminds me of the best thing I ever read in the Guardian, many years ago, in a piece all about sibling rivalry
www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2008/apr/26/familyandrelationships.family2

Two mums having a coffee & chatting. Toddler comes to say that he has buried the baby in the garden. Distracted mum 'yes, yes, that's nice dear...' before reality dawned & they raced to the garden to dig up the buried 6 week old baby. Who was fortunately fine, thanks to the toddler not compacting the soil on top. 😀

When I was a teenager I found a rampant rabbit still in the packaging in my mums drawer. Ann Summers parties were all the rage back then so I assumed she’d been pressured into buying something and had chosen that as surely my mum couldn’t possibly have bought something so vulgar willingly 😂
