The story, of course, leaked. A Ring doorbell camera captured the exchange, and within hours, the Maple Grove Moms Facebook group was on fire.
It all went wrong when a delivery driver mistakenly dropped off a large, unmarked cardboard box at Mrs. Doe’s Tudor-style bungalow. The label read: “Doe — 742 Sycamore.” The return address? The Dildo Depot — Discretion Guaranteed.
The device, which she refuses to name, vibrated off her coffee table, knocked over a framed photo of Senator Rafferty, and came to rest buzzing menacingly against the tail of her sleeping tabby, Mr. Snuggles. The cat, now in therapy, has not been the same since. Mrs Doe And The Dildo Depot
Rather than do the sensible thing (i.e., burn the box and never speak of it), Mrs. Doe did what any retired librarian with a steel-trap mind would do: she went full detective.
Upon opening the package, Mrs. Doe was not met with orthopedic relief. Instead, she found an array of shimmering, silicone products in colors that do not exist in nature. The collection included “The Titan’s Scepter” (retail $89.99), “The Whistling Gopher” (batteries included), and what appeared to be a glow-in-the-dark garden trowel. The story, of course, leaked
The Maple Grove Police briefly investigated a noise complaint—someone reported “strange rhythmic buzzing” from Mrs. Doe’s garden shed. She explained she was “testing the durability of the trowel on some stubborn dandelions.” Case closed.
“I thought it was my new lumbar pillow,” Mrs. Doe told this reporter, clutching her teacup with white-knuckled dignity. “The box was heavy, which I took as a sign of high-quality foam.” Doe’s Tudor-style bungalow
Moral of the story: Always double-check your delivery address. And never underestimate a librarian.
“Honestly, good for her,” said neighbor Patricia Meacham, 66. “She’s handled this with more class than I would have. I’d have opened a pop-up shop.”
