Girl Left Mortified When She Unwrapped What She Thought Was A Dildo Off Her Mum

Girl Left Mortified When She Unwrapped What She Thought Was A Dildo Off Her Mum

Thank God it wasn't.

During any Christmas it's inevitable that'll you'll be given some questionable presents - usually from your nan, or elderly neighbour.

Everyone knows that no matter what it is, you always open it with a smile on your face, force a half-hearted 'thank you' and then wait until you're home to give it the old 'what the fuck is this?!'.

However, in this girl's case, you'd forgive her if she didn't have a rather contorted face when her mum passed over her Christmas present.

Shelby from New Orleans took one look after she emphatically unwrapped what she first thought was a dildo and presumably let out a whelp.

It turns out though, after some explanation, it was a cup holder.

However, at the age 18, Shelby had other things on her mind and was mortified that her mother even considered buying her a sex toy.

"When I opened the gift, I opened it upside down," she told Elite Daily. "That was unfortunate. I stared at it for a really long time trying to process the gift as ANYTHING other than a dildo, but there was nothing else I could think of. I sat there wide-eyed for a really long time; my family was actually worried."

Shelby's mum insists she didn't do it on purpose, and genuinely tried to find a respectable cup holder. Her grandma, on the other hand, said it can be used for "business in the morning, fun at night." Gran has banter!
