Today, my mother-in-law purchased matching Christmas presents for myself and my sister-in-law to open together in front of everyone. Guess who are now the proud owners of matching metal tampon cases. FML

Hey, those could come in handy... You know... If your house ever gets bombed and you happen to be on your period. Don't be so ungrateful.

No. I'm Trevor, your guess was pretty off.

I didn't even know metal tampon cases existed. You learn something new everyday on FML.

'Metal' is rather ambiguous. Is it gold, tungsten, uranium? A reddish copper compound would be the most appropriate, I guess. If it looks nice, you can wear it on a necklace, so you always have a tampon ready.

I'm rather confused because copper oxide is a greenish color. I was thinking of a rusty red iron, it would match her clit.

For a second there I was afraid you were a male.

They actually have tampon cases? I thought that was what the purse was for!

I don't think that's the right word for OP's mom. "Bad gift giver?" Definitely. "Stupid?" Maybe.

isnt this worse for your sister-in-law? getting this from your mother-in-law ok, there are some weirdos out there. but from your own mother? :/

Well, no, the SIL could be the OP's husband's brother's wife. At any rate, I'm sure I could come up with a worse gift if I thought about it.

Your mother in-law is either a jokester or a horrible gift picker. On the bright side you got a metal tampon case!!

My grandparents do stuff like this all the time. My sisters and I always get matching things. Sometimes even for our birthdays because they're all close together. Don't worry too much about it. She was thinking of you.
