You won’t believe what happened when little Emma got her hands on her mom’s menstrual cup! While we often joke about how clueless dads can be, sometimes they really do get caught off guard by the things we consider “normal.”
The Dinner Disaster
Take the case of Lisa Parker’s husband. Left to his own devices to whip up dinner, he discovered what he thought was a brilliant tool for measuring rice. Yup, you guessed it—he grabbed the menstrual cup that Emma had brought into the kitchen earlier that day.
Lisa shared the hilarious text exchange on her Facebook page, where she runs a group for moms called Breastmilk Jewellery – Heart Infused Keepsakes. One of the texts read, “What is this doing in the rice?” To which her husband responded with sheer confusion, “Menstalony soup?” I can’t even!
A Clean Cup
Lisa explained that, as a busy mom of three, she had gotten distracted after Emma had played with the cup and accidentally left it next to the rice. “It was clean, by the way,” she reassured her followers. But when her husband found it, he thought he had just discovered the perfect measuring tool!
Initially horrified when he realized his “measuring cup” wasn’t for cooking, he eventually saw the humor in the situation. Lisa joked, “My husband is hopeless in the kitchen. He can’t even toast bread without burning it! But he always makes me laugh, and I wouldn’t trade that for anything.”
