Bedroom Talk

For those of you who have kids, what is the most shocking thing you've ever found in your kid's bedroom?

And how did you react? To make this a spiritual question, did your religious beliefs (or lack thereof) in any way influence your reaction? Thank you for your answers, The Marlboro Man

1. my muffin
2. A Tesla coil. Grounded.
3. Yeah, I found their moms dildo. My reaction was to clean it off and explain that they must use their own dildo and not their moms!
4. They aren't quite old enough for naughty bedroom finds. But my 9-year-old giggles uncontrollably whenever he gets a rectal exam (which is on an almost monthly basis). That's kind of disturbing. (((MM)))
5. I don't have kids, but I bet it would be pretty shocking to find my vast collection of ribbon. I've acquired so much of it at this point.
6. My kid actually doing his homework right after he arrived home from school. Yes, i searched for drugs!
7. my husband( their step father) naked in bed with my daughter.
8. The most shocking thing I have in my room is a random hubcap I found in the middle of the sidewalk. And my mom wtf'd when she found the old broken fan I brought home from school.
9. I expected to find the pot and Playboys, I freaked out when I found the real samurai sword, the genuine blowgun and darts, and a marine style double edged dagger. Thank you for your question.
10. When he was 9, my son cut out some pics of ladies in underwear from my magazine and hid them under his pillow. That did take me by surprise, I must admit. He's in his teens now, and I daren't look anymore.
11. my kid
12. A mummy, a chainsaw and a balloon animal.
13. Don't have any kids of my own, I am 19 years old. But my Mom found condoms in my dresser drawer when I was 16 years old, (I wasn't sexually active at the time), my friend just gave them to me. My parents and I had the talk and they were proud to say that if I was sexually active, I would be protected. They were a little concerned, but not upset. This had no effect on our Religious views because my family isn't religious. This was truly awkward, btw. (I wasn't active until 18.) Now, my parents and I joke about it. Thumbs Down for being honest. lol.
14. I don't have kids, but I wanted to answer anyway and say that the most shocking thing my parents ever found in my room was that dead hooker. (((MM)))
15. The Origin of Species :)
16. A peeled banana in the bottom of the toybox. I'm guessing it was at least two weeks old. I think my exact words were "Well, for God sakes - that's nasty".
17. The kid! The Second Most Shocking thing: The homework is done- all clothes hung- all toys stowed safely? (Grabbing it by the neck, and shaking hard:) "Where's my baby, and what have you done with them???"
18. I didn't so much as find it, more saw it disappearing down the gullet of my daughter when she was about 18 months old. Walking out of her room after having rummaged through her toy box, she scoffed down what looked to be 3/4 of a rusk. The only problem was I knew full well that I had given her the last rusk in the house over a week earlier....lol seems she'd stashed it. I'm pretty sure that in the nanosecond that i had between realising what she had in her hand and where it was headed.....that I saw a good 10mm of blue and orange mold on top of the rusk...like bacterial icing ***shudders*** I nearly died.
19. Hundreds - and I do mean HUNDREDS - of tiny, newly hatched praying mantises. I was wondering what the cats were eating in the hallway and had just gone to investigate when my phone rang and I answered. My friend Sylvi's son and my son went to school together and she had just walked into a similar scene. Upon questioning her son she learned that a few of the boys had brought home the very "neat" eggs their science teacher had given them to set outside over summer holiday, had promptly gotten lost in Nintendo land over the summer and now the little buggers were hatching. I'm not sure she had to call Wesley's mother and warn her as well, as they lived about three doors down from me and she probably heard my hysterical shrieking when I opened the doors and windows and started a chemical warfare campaign to make the WWI mustard gas manufacturers proud. Those things were EVERYWHERE in his room. (Which is apparently the coolest thing ever to happen in the history of earth if you're a boy in year four.) How did my faith affect my reaction? Well, we don't have "forgiveness" in my faith so I didn't kill him. I did, however, save the note I found crumpled in the bottom of a backpack his teacher had sent home warning us. It was supposed to be an instant guilt trip in the future but now that he's an adult, he still just chuckles when I bring it up. Little (huge, actually) brat.
20. My oldest is not even 3 so not much. I once went into his room to discover him trying to pee on his own arm (boys are gross). I think I probably changed the sheets and told him that that was pretty gross then told him I wish you were born a girl. That last part is not true
21. An apple stuck to a bear hidden under the bed next to my VHS copy of Secret of Nimh. I was disturbed.
22. Lol, a couple of playboys hidden in the vent. It's finding drug stuff I worry about.
23. In my son's room, I found my daughter's Nintendo, after he blamed the 3 year old for throwing it away, of course he was suspended from using his after he failed half of his classes, for lack of participation, not just struggling like usual kids, and had I not been Christian I would have beat him relentlessly for his out and out insolence, disrespect, and lying, not to mention stealing, and bearing false witness against a 3 year old who really couldn't state his side of the case, so he went to a youth pastor, and had television taken away too for the entire summer.
24. I found God on my kid's bedroom. I'm a believer right away.
25. A Pride and Prejudice book. All I said was "Isn't that a little mature for you Brianna?" and she was like "Mom, I read books more advanced than this."
