A Follow Up To Yesterday or I Am A Bad Mother

by Veronica on April 11, 2008

in Amy,Gotta Laugh

After yesterday’s post I have been thinking about vibrators all too often.

Q. Do I have the money to buy a new one?

A. No. Damn.

Q. I wonder what the shipping to Oz is like.

A. Uh, terrible.

Q. Do those little spiky things hurt?

A. Hell, I don’t know! Someone tell me already or I will obsess about it.

Q. Where did I put those spare batteries.

A. In the food cupboard. Heh. Thanks hun.

What I didn’t think about was storage. I didn’t think about the fact that I DON’T have a bedside table. I didn’t think about the fact that I don’t have a door on our bedroom. I didn’t think about Amy.

Yes, you heard me right. I didn’t think about my toddler wandering into the bedroom and pulling all the pillows and doonas off of the bed.

[In my defence it was hidden under Nathan's pillow and he is generally fast asleep on top of it. Sorry hun]

So, I was on the phone to my mother, chatting about stuff, when a chirpy little toddler wanders out of the bedroom swinging my vibrator like a light sabre.

[Thank god she is too little to understand! She won't need therapy. I might however]

‘Eeeeek!’ I shouted to Mum. ‘Hold on!’

I rushed over and stole my vibrator back from her tiny little fingers. Quickly I tucked it into the bookshelf out of sight and distracted Amy.

All I could think was ‘SO GLAD I am a hygenic person and everything is washed after use’. Yes, I did wash her hands just in case.

Then I went and told Mum what had just happened, because I am weird like that.

We giggled. Lots.

And then I blogged about it. Amen.

PS. I really really need a bedside table. With a locking drawer. And to remember to move the hiding place.

Thank god she wasn’t rummaging through the study.

Well, I have got one of those Rabbit ones and it is Fabbo Shcmabbo. And what you need is a nice decorated box to go in your wardrobe for all your toys. And you need to type in Sex Shops Australia on Google. There are some good places with cheap shipping. Like Sugarvibe….they are awesome. And they have nice tasting headjob lube..but I digress. Anyway, the rabbit goes off, there is a mail order sex place in Prospect, and didn’t those “Fucking Machines” look bloody scary on that website?

The other day I on my blog I asked people what was ON their bedside table, very carefully not asking people what was IN the drawer, lol! You need a bedside drawer.

LOL Love it! I had one of those rabbits, it was great but I left some old batteries in it for too long so I had to chuck it :(

I’ve heard that this is a good toy… http://www.annsummers.com/single.asp?gid=7&cat=2&pid=4834

I’ve yet to try it though!

No, the spikey things don’t hurt – unless its the hard-plastic variety (doesn’t look like it is though).

If this makes you a bad mother then I must be the worst mother alive. After having so much ‘fun’ the last thing I think about is getting up to put it away…so I’ll leave it under a pillow. Not only has my 3 year old daughter found it…but also my 6 year old son. More than once. I spazzed every time.

What about a dresser drawer? That’s where I used to keep mine. OR you could store them in a cute, funky purse and hang it up in your closet.

What is this? National Vibrator Month? I just wrote a vibe blog. Perhaps you can come up with a way to supercharge the “vibe” in my discussion. It is the ultimate way to bad motherhood.

Been there, done that. We have a box, and the kids have found it more than once. Even after I move it. And put it under a bed. Or up high. They might need therapy LOL

Toni April 12, 2008 at 11:39 am

I have a girlfriend – who has a best friend that has a pact with her. For some reason, if the best friend dies, my girlfriend is to go into the house and retrieve all items that may be deemed unsuitable for her children to find. Such items are to be disposed of quietly.

An idea to add to the list?? :)

A locking bank bag, $8 on ebay… has been the ticket to discretion in my house.

Our stash used to be in our top dresser drawer, but Julia knows how to use a step stool. She also knows how to use the lower drawers like stairs. I’d reccommend a lock box in the closet. Not that that’s my secret hiding place or anything…

lol “a light sabre” roflmao I think I’m gonna pee my pants laughing about that one…

Myst April 12, 2008 at 5:46 pm

A few of the Aus online chemists sell them, I think it’s chemist warehouse? Postage not bad around $5.00.
Trouble is you don’t want a hiding spot that takes ages to access – may just break the mood a bit!!

It could have been worse, especially if your 8 year old finds Picture magazines under the bed, takes them to school and SELLS them in the LIBRARY, and gets caught in the process. When the principal rang it was like no longer something Mum needed to go and sort out – this time it was DAD’S turn!!!

At least Amy is young enough to have no idea what it is – more embarrassing if she was older!

Adam & Eve, Sex Toys October 8, 2009 at 5:07 am

Well, they do make convenient light sabers. Can’t argue that :)

Ashleigh Marie February 26, 2010 at 3:46 pm

Bahaha. I was just browsing through your old posts and this made me think of when my brother and I found my mums vibrator. We picked it up trying to figure out what it was and everything. She insists she used it as a back massager….yeah right. I have had therapy for many a thing but nothing too do with finding that little plastic rocket hahaha (I originally thought it was a strange torch eh).
