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

At least it'll make a good idea for a sitcom in case you ever want to branch out Grin

Oh. My. Fucking. God.

whizzipop89 · 04/01/2011 15:01

and we can find out in realtime what happened - see the other thread in Chat - 'my child just opened a sex toys present'!!!

HarkTheTragicalyHipHeraldAngel · 04/01/2011 15:01

could this be you op?

whizzipop89 · 04/01/2011 15:01

put it this way Bambi - at least you can gauge the mood before you turn up!

MackerelOfFact · 04/01/2011 15:01

Oh God you poor thing! Assuming the mum wrestled the book off him in time, the rest is pretty innocuous to the uninitiated, ie. 4yo boys. He might quite like the feather boa and hand cuffs, and he'd probably think the lube was sweets.

The assembled mums, however... Blush

shufflebum · 04/01/2011 15:01

sorry nothing constructive to add, just marking my place for the fallout report later Grin

Malificence · 04/01/2011 15:01

It could have been much, much worse. Grin

exexpat · 04/01/2011 15:02

Grin nice one. Bit too obvious starting the other thread at the same time though.

bambiandthumper · 04/01/2011 15:02

I was in such a rush that I didn't label either of them, and there was no card attached as our nanny helped DTD make one for him, and it was too big to get the envelope.

I just tried the soft play but its engaged. Fuckwank.

Friends just suggested blaming it on the DT's for picking up the wrong present. Now that could work.

We are still in the cafe and getting very strange looks. Friend keeps bursting into hysterical laughter and running to the loo. I am bashing away on her iphone (have no idea how to use it) Blush Blush Blush Blush

Really? Did using different types of wrapping paper not occur to you? (I bet it will from now on Grin). And were the presents identically shaped?

MmeLindt · 04/01/2011 15:02

HAahahahahah

LOL at you both being MNetters.

MmeLindt · 04/01/2011 15:03

Bambi
She has just posted on MN here

crumpetsolo · 04/01/2011 15:03

Completely made up - look a matching thread... What a surprise. Why didn't the little boy open his presents at the party? Because that would have ruined the story. Yawn.

TrinityMotherOfRhinos · 04/01/2011 15:03

are they really genuinely both mumsnetters that has to be THE funniest thing ever

ShatnersBassoon · 04/01/2011 15:04

Everything was really working against you. Same wrapping paper on adults and child's present, phone dropped in bath, mix-up with soft play times providing opportunity for guaranteed present opening, uptight mother...

What an unfortunate series of events.

cumbria81 · 04/01/2011 15:04

What happened?!?!

squashedfrogs · 04/01/2011 15:05

This has made my day after having a seriously crap morning Grin

KalokiMallow · 04/01/2011 15:05

MmeLindt The other thread was made up after this one, by someone who read this thread.

Crumpetsolo The OP has already said she only dropped her DT's off at the party. She didn't stay at the party.

BusyMissIzzy · 04/01/2011 15:05

If this is real and a genuine coincidence than I am Blush on your behalf but mostly Grin.

If it's all made up, then personally I think it's quite clever :)

SoupDragon · 04/01/2011 15:05

Er... Don't you think the other thread was started y someone response to this as a joke??? i don't think it is either th Op or the mother

bambiandthumper · 04/01/2011 15:05

Sorry crumpetsolo I think that was started by exexpat as a joke!!

This (I wish it wasn't) is real Blush Blush Blush Blush Blush Blush Blush Blush Blush

At least if she is a mnetter (highly doubt she is) then she will know I wasn't trying to corrupt her pfb!!!!
