A mum was left mortified when a a fellow school parent revealed their child had been given a friendship bracelet from her daughter in the form of a cock ring.
Kahla Maneely’s heart ‘sank to the pit of her stomach’ when she realised Myla Eisenhower, five, had given her pal the purple silicone toy after the fellow mum warned her over text ‘she might have been in your stuff lol’.
The humiliated 26-year-old scrambled to send an apologetic text to the schoolgirl’s mum to reassure her that the sex aid wasn’t used – and was relieved when she got a light-hearted response.
Under intense grilling from Kahla and 29-year-old electrician dad Brady Eisenhower, the guilty schoolgirl confessed she’d rummaged through a bedside cabinet before school on Monday.
The nursery student had proudly sported the vibrating purple ‘bracelet’ at school and handed it over to her pal on the bus home.
Full-time mum-of-three Kahla said she hopes that after their chat and a five-minute ‘time out’ Myla has learned her lesson and won’t snoop around in their bedroom again.
Kahla, from Pennsylvania, said:
When I saw the picture on the text it took me a second to put two and two together and my heart sank down to the pit of my stomach.
I didn’t know what to do, I’ve never been that embarrassed in my whole life.
I spent 10 minutes just staring at my phone trying to think of a good response because I didn’t know what to say. I was thinking ‘what if that was my kid who came home from school wearing that as a bracelet?’ What would I do?
I texted her back and as soon as I sent it I laughed so hard I couldn’t breathe, I thought I was going to pass out from not being able to catch my breath.
It was important for me to let her know it was brand new and hadn’t been used because that would have been disgusting. I wanted to reassure her that her daughter wasn’t wearing a used cock ring as a bracelet.
I’m very happy her mom handled that so great, I’m so thankful that she didn’t flip out.
Kahla, who is also mum to 18-month-old Maxine Eisenhower and three-year-old McKenna Eisenhower, said she picked up Myla from the bus stop as usual at 4pm on Monday.
She then prepared dinner as she listened to Myla chat excitedly about what she’d been up to at school that day. It was only as the family of five sat down for their evening meal that Kahla’s phone pinged, that they discovered the accidental X-rated incident.
When they quizzed Myla about whether she’d been through their belongings she tried to deny it, but eventually crumbled. It transpired that Myla crept into their bedroom, had a rummage through a bedroom drawer and squirrelled away what she believed was a new piece of jewellery.
The kind-hearted girl even passed it on to a friend on the school bus home as a friendship token.
Kahla said:
When I was reading the texts Myla was looking at me not having a clue what was going on.
I asked her ‘did you go through Daddy’s stuff?’ She tried to lie at first, but then asked me what it was as it was ‘really stretchy’, I told her to mind her business.
She definitely made it vibrate while she was wearing it – it only lasts for about 20 minutes.
I’ve been laughing about it ever since it happened. I just keep cracking up imagining that poor little girl coming home with that bracelet on to show her mom.
I’m very happy her mom handled that so great. The box containing the items was in his top drawer which has boxers in it.
They were under everything and pushed to the back so she definitely went rooting for it.
She added:
When we asked Myla about it she started to look a little bit scared as she knows she’s not allowed to go through our stuff we’ve since moved them from their usual spot.
We sat her down and talked to her about it, then she was on time out for five minutes in her room.
She then apologised, so I hope she’s learned her lesson not to do that again.
Kahla said the whole family had learned lessons from the x-rated incident – they’ve now moved the aids from the previous hiding place and Myla has learned not to go snooping in her parents’ room.
