Mine are: an ex years ago was one boy with two sisters and one night we got talking about what they called their genitalia when they were growing up. I was flabbergasted when he said "Oh, I had a 'cock' and my sisters had 'minges'" ShockShock

However that was not as bad as the family BBQ (same family) where we were all sitting around a table having a lovely lunch; me, ex-bf, his parents, sisters, sisters' boyfriends and then ex-MIL casually mentioned that she hadn't woken up till 9am that morning.
"That's not true," says ex-FIL promptly, "I heard you having a shit at 5." Shock Shock Shock Shock did not cover it.

I can't stop looking. It's the car crash of vagina photography.

Suzannewithaplan · 18/12/2014 12:14

Puts me in mind of a plucked chicken carcass, with the way the picture cuts off at the knee and the general posture

TheLovelyBoots · 18/12/2014 12:14

Are you sure it is hers? We can't see the head after all.
Yes.

TheLovelyBoots · 18/12/2014 12:14

OK, sorry folks but i'm requesting a delete now.

InanimateCarbonRod · 18/12/2014 12:15

OMG .. the cat!!! Please for context - how big is this picture?! It looks HUGE!

There is a cat! :o

That is just amazing. Never mind giving it to her brother as a wedding present. It just wins anyway.

TheLovelyBoots · 18/12/2014 12:16

I think it's about A3.

FollowTheStarship · 18/12/2014 12:17

Thank you Boots for your services to me having a much-needed guffaw this morning :)

TheLovelyBoots · 18/12/2014 12:19

You people are welcome!

The fact that she never aknowledged that it was an.... unorthodox? wedding present rather stifled a lot of conversation. I never showed my in-laws, my husband said they'd be too upset.

HazleNutt · 18/12/2014 12:21

Is that her cat? The photo is named a pussy with a pussy?

TheLovelyBoots · 18/12/2014 12:21

So now you can understand how we are in fits of laughter every.single.time we discuss her wedding present.

weeredcar · 18/12/2014 12:25

Oh dear Lord.....

KingJoffreysHasABigWhiteBeard · 18/12/2014 12:25

Oh, thank fuck!

I went back to bed for a bit and was totally freaked out that I missed the vagina picture.

Weird wedding present. It's not even framed...

Xmas Confused
TheLovelyBoots · 18/12/2014 12:27

IHeartChristmasMoomies · 18/12/2014 12:29

And where do you display that treasure?!

deary deary me. Nowt so queer as folk Grin

KingJoffreysHasABigWhiteBeard · 18/12/2014 12:29

Acrylic? Blimey.

CakeAndWineAreAFoodGroup · 18/12/2014 12:31

Good lord!

That's it. My family have just been shunted up to Normal. Confused

CornChips · 18/12/2014 12:31

I am in tears at the photo.How glad I am that I did not miss it!!!!

That's weird though.

CornChips · 18/12/2014 12:32

Anyway - forget the vagina..... nice drawers. (snurk snurk) But really, those drawers you are leaning her vagina on are really lovely.

TheLovelyBoots · 18/12/2014 12:33

I keep it hidden alongside the wardrobe shown in the picture. We don't have an even remotely avante garde house, I couldn't possibly display it.

pierpressure · 18/12/2014 12:34

I don't have any words to reflect my reaction to that...
I thought my Sil was weird but really?

KingJoffreysHasABigWhiteBeard · 18/12/2014 12:34

Your floor is very nice too.

Xmas Smile
TheLovelyBoots · 18/12/2014 12:34

Thank you cornchips :-)

NoMontagues · 18/12/2014 12:34

So, so glad to have seen the Cat n' Vag.

I would have been GUTTED if I heard talk of it after it was deleted.

I can now get on with more mumsnetting the housework.

TheLovelyBoots · 18/12/2014 12:34

Thank you King.
