Embarrassing and Personal Question!

I found my aunt and uncles hand cuffs. I was 7 and started playing police with them at Thanksgiving dinner. Good times that.

Ha! That just made my week! Thank you! I would leave it alone! If he keeps pressing, tell him it's a massager. You could buy a nonsexual vibrating massager and use it on his back. Then lock the other one up when not in use!
BTW, my Mom still tells the story of my brother (then 3) walking in the family room with her diaphram on his mouth sucking in and out! Can you imagine? Too funny!

Grandma T: Cracking me up! I have told my husband that if I die before him he'd better get rid of mine!

LOL, ok deep breath...
First watch this commercial....

I think it happens to the best of us. =)
I'm getting something that locks! lol.

When he gets old enough to know what one is and remembers his mom had one, he'll just smile and know you and dad had a great sex life :) In the meantime, keep your toys in a place that you dont have to worry about them being discovered.
I found a strap on in my grandma and grandpa's closet when I was about 13... I think I've had PTS since then, lol.
ADDED:
omg, I'm so laffing at these answers. My question now is what will my kids think when they find my toys after I croak? lol

LOL!!! Thank you for this post. I really needed a funny story tonight.

Don't worry he'll be fine. He really will. Of course he thinks a vibrator is cool. It is. Even when you don't know what it is actually for.

I found my mom's when I was a kid and then as an adult she found mine while helping me put away laundry after the birth of my son. The vibrator circle. LOL.

It happens and you have to admit it's pretty funny. It sure made me laugh out loud. Really.

Thanks again.

Peace.

aw poor jamie! lol...you're good, let it go. what would motherhood be without these moments! consider yourself lucky. i was looking for socks as as teenager and found my mom's - and i knew EXACTLY what it was for. talk about being MORTIFIED!

My son thinks tampons are medicine for mommy.

Really, if it was a tampon, or tweezers, or eyelash curlers... anything weird and unusual adult thing kids don't use. just try and take the emphasis off of what it is and remember you can spin it into a totally innocent and boring thing.

"Oh, that's just for mommy's headaches, lets put that away." Telling him it's a massager is totally innocent, and technically accurate too.

BAHAWAHAHA! Jamie, you're killin' me!
Yes, just let it go.
It's Mommy's toy.

:)

I remember finding my mom's vibrator and she told me it was a muscle massager. I shrugged, put it away and that was that. When I was all grown up and figured out what it was, I chuckled and shrugged it off a second time.

Far worse for you than your son. I doubt he'll even think of it again.

Mental note to myself: Make sure all toys are locked away :) We never found any of my parents items when we were kids but you reminded me of something funny my oldest sister did when she was in 1st grade. One day my Mom got a call asking her to come to school ASAP. When she got there the male principal handed her a bunch of her tampons. Apparently my sister was supposed to bring straws in for a class project and neglected to tell my Mom. She thought she was being "Mommy's helper" by taking care of it herself and just stuffed a few handfuls of what she thought were straws into her backpack. Needless to say my Mother was mortified. Be glad he didn't take it to school for show and tell ;D Another time the school called because she was wearing shower curtain hooks for earrings....my father wouldn't let us get our ears pierced and my sister really wanted hoop earrings like the other girls...once again she took matters into her own hands.

LOL!! Thanks for the laugh.

If years down the line he remembers that he found mom's vibrator he will be grossed out but he won't be harmed. If he does, you can make a joke out of it. "Oh that? That was Dad's." I highly doubt he'll want to push the subject further.

Yes, leave it alone. If he asks, you can say it's a massager for your neck.

haha! Well they ARE cool toys!!

I'd leave it alone unless your son brings it up again.

LOL!!! Yes, leave it alone. Its ok, he will forget about it and so will you.

Thank you for sharing the valuable lesson... never put any thing personal in your sock drawer.. lol.

At this point, I would just let it go unless he mentions it, which is unlikely. If he does, tell him its a massager.

My 4 and 5 yr found mine cpl weeks back and my son said "Hey Mom! You forgot to put your foot stuff away" I sat there for a sec wondering what foot stuff, and then it clicked in my head what he was talking about. Oops. I ran upstairs and just said thanks kiddo mom will put it away. I just left it at that.

My 7 yo grandson found my vibrator, asked what it was and asked if he could play with it. I told him it vibrated on sore muscles and no, he couldn't play with it. lol Mine is small with a small vibrating tip which helped me keep my cool. It could be used on sore muscles tho it's really too small for that.

Anyway, if I were you I wouldn't say anything unless he brings it up again. If he does I'd explain the "usual" purpose of vibrators which is to massage sore muscles. If he asks to play with it just say no, it's yours and not a toy.

At his age he's not going to think a thing of it. If he is puzzled at all it's by your reaction. I wouldn't worry about it. When he's old enough to know what it's for it's unlikely he'll remember this incident but if he does he won't think anything of it. Long term memory is lacking at age 6.

OMG this is SO funny!
I am getting a total ROFL right now.
Sorry, I am not laughing 'at' you... just the visual I have about it in my imagination and how you described it.
TOO funny!

Hopefully he does not remember this, when he is a grown-up and realizes what these things are. And that "Mom" had one....

Um, but hide it somewhere else from now on.

Don't bring it up to him again.
If he does, just say its an appliance to fix the house ?

We told our 6 year old it was a back massager! Let it go, lol!

lol, yes this has happened to me, One time I found my daughter with my little bullet that I keep under my mattress in her mouth!!
And another time my son found it and asked what it was, I tried to stay cool and told him it was a mini back massager!
So funny, but they won't think a thing about it.

My 4yo son wanted to know "Where the microphone went?"

Oh gawd.

"Honey, the microphone is broken. It's gone away." Amazingly enough without skipping a beat, I just listened to myself say it.

"Well I know it's BROKEN. You turn it on an all it does is shake. Doesn't make my voice louder at ALL. But I can fix it mommy! You just have to PRETEND it makes your voice louder. You didn't 'ave to throw it away!"

Mortification, mortification, mortification.

OMG... LOVE LOVE LOVE the Ikea commercial!!!

My cousin and I found her mom's entire STASH when we were 12. We were looking for candles, and thought they might be in the drawer by her bed. (we figured that way they would be easy to find if the power went out...) There were some pretty ...creative... toys in there. It was obvious what they were for... We didn't bring it up until YEARS later when we were 'confessing' all the things we got away with, and we all laughed it off.

So so funny! Sounds like you are fine - no futher explanation needed. Someday you'll have a good laugh about it (in 20 years or so!).

LOL - Once my whole extended family was over was over for my mom's birthday dinner and my nephew was playing in our spare bedroom with my mom and he opened the dresser drawer and there was my bottle of watermelon "lusty lube." My mom turned to me and said "Now that you have kids you will have to find a better hiding spot for this"

Ok, thank you for the laugh, dear; I really needed that! Great story to laugh at in the far future. Yeah, I agree; tell him it's dad's toy. LOL!

Oh yeah leave it alone for sure;) At least he didn't walk in on it in use, it could always be worse!!! Years down the road he will be aware his parents have sex, no worries ;)

Hey Jamie and so many others, thanks for the laugh, I was trying so hard not to laugh out loud and I was actually crying at some of the replies. My 8 year old son was in the next room and I didn't want to catch his attention at what I thought was so funny. I can only imagine how I would react. Obviously it happens to so many people, don't worry about it, give it some time and you too will be laughing! I wouldn't mention it again, he will likely forgot about it, but if he mentions it, tell him it is your medicine for your muscles and only grown ups can have it. You had to have laughed at some of the responses, thanks ladies! I will be sure to show this to my husband tomorrow, he too will think it is funny.

okay, my bf and i live with his parents and have a toy box in our room (normally goes under the bed) but the other day we forgot to put it back under the bed the next morning and HIS MOM went into the room to get our daughter some socks (yes she does help out with her and gers her clothes every once in a while) and it was out in the open (the whole reason i realized it is becasue she grabbed a shirt instead of pants (we do NOT ask them to do these things btw) and i took audrey up and saw it and put it back under the bed) nothing was said though but im sure she saw it

lol, thanks for the good laugh~

LOL He will remember! I remember when I was about 8-10 and I found condoms in my parents nightstand, she just said they were my dads and left it at that. Once I got older I remembered that and knew exactly what they were for ew lol You should just say it was a back massager, buy him one and say he can use that, kohls has them usually, vibrating massagers that is!
