My son who is 21 recently bought me some lingerie for my birthday. I was shocked and obviously confused by this gesture. How do I talk to him about this.

Aye, right.

Are you Liz Hurley?? Her son is very close to her 😂😂😂

SapphiraWise · 08/07/2026 07:57

Son, think you meant these for your girlfriend. You know I only like the open gusset.

sophia341 · 08/07/2026 07:57

I remember that phrase and 'Jackanory, tell me a story,!" and my old favourite 'Uh oh! Pinnochio!"

My husband asked his mum what she wanted for Christmas one year. She requested silk underwear. I said I absolutely was not getting involved in that, so he bought some cheap monstrosities from Amazon.

And it’s never been mentioned again.

In the entire history of things that never happened, this never happened the most.

I wish I could have used the laughter reaction they used to have.

But he does have a girlfriend...mummy...

If this is true I feel really really sorry for any future partner he might get. Unlikely he will but....

ilbehonest · 08/07/2026 10:55

Laugh really loud as it must be a joke. Then ask for your actual gift.
