I just got a box from my father in law, sent priority, no less.... with a note that he was including some things we might find useful.....some Happy Meal toys, that I just trashed, some xylitol gum, that I will probably chew, two mirrors, that I will give to Livvie....and two battery operated personal massagers. OMG! Does he know what those are for? I mean, it's the idea that my FATHER IN LAW sent them that creeps me out. Is he naive, or is he trying to tell us something?

I knew some people who went to a seminar to open their minds, and the next birthday they gave a common relative something that is generally sold in a store that you have to be 18 to enter. At least in Utah. Maybe something like that happened. Or, as mph suggested, he thought they were general purpose massagers. I mean, older people are older for a reason.
P.S. Now that I think about it, those stores are probably restricted to attract people to them, and not due to any legal constraints. I could be wrong.

Um...is "personal massager" somehow different from those back massager things? Because I've seen back massagers before and I can't imagine how they could be used for any purpose that would require them to be sold in adults-only stores.

( and for those of you who where wondering, I would best describe them as shaped like computer mice. It's the kind one of my freinds gets at Dollar Tree for her "recreational purposes)

OK, which McDonald's toys were they, anyway? You have neglected to provide that important information.

If they sell them at the dollar store, I'm sure they aren't expressly intended for naughty purposes. Computer mouse shaped sounds pretty general purpose to me.
Just with my husband's profession I get defensive whenever people equate massage with sexual stimulation. Not that there is anything wrong with sexual creativity, I just get a lot of phone calls from perverts, or cops pretending to be perverts. Hard to tell sometimes. My favorite was the guy who wanted to know what our phone book ad meant by "Whiplash".

My wife worked as an office manager for a MT place, Trisha, and they'd occasionally have to put up with that kind of thing too.

Don't get rid of the Happy Meal toys! Put them on Ebay!
I was surprised the last time I had garage sale -- how many grown people dug through the "toy" box and grab out all the Happy Meal toys first. Those collectors are crazy! (but I made money)
You trashed a Goofy toy?! I've been collecting Goofy memorabilia for the past ten years!
You should put those toys on eBay. A lot of people I know like Happy Meal toys and actively search for them. Posts: 378 | Registered: Aug 2004

You're making a mistaken assumption that she gave me this because she was hip and not prudish. She always was a pretty stereotypical Catholic, albeit a crazy one. She gave me this because I was getting married: I was getting ready to become a man, now, and I needed to know how to do these things, and she wasn't sure my father would tell me anything.

The Happy Meal toys were in the package...wow, I may have to dig them out! I would have never thought someone would collect those.

DPR, do not pretend you are digging them up for the money. You just figured out how they fit in with the mirrors and massagers, that's all. Can't fool us.
