One of my best friends came from out of town to spend the night. We had a great time catching up and talking about pretty much everything, including the fact that the vibrator she was using felt too big and clunky.
The day after she left I mailed her a book I thought she would like, and for good luck, tossed in a small Jolie vibrator. This e-mail exchange followed:
Her: Hi. Thanks so much for the book and light…it was so thoughtful of you. — F
Me: Light. That’s a vibrator, dummy!! — B
WE RECOMMEND THE VIDEO: Class 1 Science Food for healthy body
Food from plants and animals.
Her: Well, after S (her 12 year-old son) and I spent about 20 minutes trying to figure out where the light was and how it works…..I decided to give it a break. Good thing I got your email in time or I may have sent it with him to camp to figure out with his friends.
So, double thanks for the gifts.
Moral of the Story: Sometimes a flashlight is just a flashlight. And sometimes it’s not!
