My mom said I could bring a pool float on vacation. I complied by bringing a inflatable sex-sheep
When I was a teenager, my mom told me I could bring a pool float on our family vacation to Spain.
She probably meant something normal. A flamingo. A donut. Something like that.
Instead, I brought an inflatable sex sheep (yes they sold that in the Norwegian store called Kondomeriet). My mom had no idea what it actually was. To her it was just a sheep float.
I inflated it at the hotel pool and spent a good part of the vacation floating around on it while a few other tourists gave us very confused looks.
My mom just assumed people thought it was funny. She even took photos. In one of those photos, me floating in a pool in Spain with the sheep is still framed on the wall at my moms house.
To this day she has not figured out what it actually is. Every time I visit, I walk past it and try not to laugh.
