Wasn't there a reg whose parents bought them toys for Christmas?

OP thank her for the gift and have fun with it. I love getting new lingerie.

Wait a minute!  Are you saying we old folks aren't supposed to know about and enjoy SEX???  Grow up, girlfriend.

Your Grandma was probably around in the swingin' seventies!  I think it's just lovely that she sent you such a fun gift.  Write her a nice thank you note and stop blushing about it.

i hear ya on the awkward. for the holidays last year, i had two main presents from MIL (then MOG): 1) A foam Nativity set to put together (I'm jewish, more culturally than spiritiually....i'm okay doing thing as Xmas gifts, but that went too far 2) lingerie. she went back and forth on things, first talking about size selection and then suggestins it might not have been initially intended for me

DF's grandma sent me a *ahem* stash of red lace underwear (as in over 20 pairs) when I moved in with DF. Granted, I know her really well. But the card!

Dear River,

Grandpa just loves red lace. But, men just don't get how fragile lace is. Please enjoy these single use fun panties. You will get to experience that Nine Inch Nails song "Closer" and I will not ask you to leave the room when I need to explain it. (Yes, she told SIL and I to leave the room after quoting the chorus to her shocked friend as she was going to explain it. We ran.)

Love,
Grandma

After the initial OMG, she did not do that! I did send her a thank you.

Dear Grandma,

Thank you for the unexpected surprise! Indeed, they are a single use item. I am still leaving the room before any explanation however.

Love,
River

Grandpa and DF high fived each other at dinner later that week.

My extremely proper, refined, well mannered 93 year old grandma, prior to her wedding in the late 40s received a floor length nighty with luxurious fur at the hem. The card read-"the fur is to keep your ears warm".

I know this story because she was very disappointed she could not find a similar nightie to send to me- proper and refined, yes, but grandma also has a wicked sense of humor

I AM OFFICIALLY DEAD. Shame they don't make such fancy deshabille anymore.

OMG too funny. The bedspread reminds me of The Proposal.

She luckily didn't refer to it as "the babymaker". Yeesh... though all the lingerie and bed-related items speak for themselves. MAKE THE BABIES GRANDDAUGHTER-IN-LAW! MAKE THEMS!
