My Mother: What was in that last box you got in the mail from China? :O
Me, Internally Screaming because that box was full of Vibrators: …..A T-Shirt!
My Mother: Ohhh! What was rattling in there? It almost looked like a shoe box, I thought maybe it was another toy for the cat!
Me, dYING ON THE INSIDE: Rattle? I mean they used protective stuff in there, but nothing rattled! Ahaha– *qUICKLY AND SMOOTHLY CHANGES SUBJECT TIME TO TALK ABOUT CAT TOYS AND HOW CUTE MY CAT IS*
Honestly I’m just facepalming because at one point I had been prepared for this conversation, and I had actually even thought about saying it was another toy for Mouschi since one of the toys I got him for Christmas also came from China but she whipped out that question right oUT OF THE BLUE I WAS NOT PREPARED
I MEAN SOMEHOW MY QUESTIONABLE MANEUVER WORKED ‘CAUSE I TRANSITIONED SMOOTHLY INTO TALKING ABOUT MY CAT BUT STILL
I HAD BEEN SO RELIEVED WHEN THEY DIDN’T SAY ANYTHING ABOUT THE BOX WHEN IT CAME, DIDN’T ASK ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT IT
AND IT’S BEEN A LITTLE WHILE SINCE IT GOT HERE SO I THOUGHT I WAS OFF THE HOOK
BUT NOOOOOO
…And tbh the “discreet packaging” was so discreet it stuck out like a sore thumb and I almost suspected that they knew and were purposely not saying anything about it, buuuuut nope! Apparently it was discreet enough! XD;;;;
Hoooo boy!
AND THAT’S THE STORY OF HOW I VERY NARROWLY DODGED A PROVERBIAL BULLET TODAY

I can gleefully talk about the Ides of March and makes jokes about it and be a Shakespeare Nerd as much as I like in my workplace and my personal Facebook and such, but most people have no idea what I’m talking about– I’ll see a rare post here and there about it, those people will earn Jess Brownie Points 😛
But then I hop onto Tumblr
And in this beautiful space there are so many nerds who understand
