Dear Prudence,
My elderly parents have moved down south, my father is in declining
health, and I offered to help get their house in New England ready to
sell. My mom is a bit of a pack rat, so I wasn't surprised to find
valuable items like wedding photos mixed in with junk. What I wasn't
prepared for was stumbling across, hidden in a drawer in her office, her
personal sex toy. If I pack up this particular drawer full of stuff, my
mother will know I found it. If I don’t pack it, maybe she’ll forget
about it or think that it got thrown away with the other junk. So what
should I do? Pack it up and play dumb, or toss it?
