Is this what I think it is?

I spent the day with my mother today and had a wonderful time. It made me think of a story about her.

A few years ago Mama was babysitting the girls while M and I went out. When we returned, she met me at the door.

"You'll never guess what I found," she said with a shocked, I-can't-believe-you tone of voice.

"What?" I asked.

"This was just LYING on the kitchen counter!" she gasped. "I can't believe you are so irresponsible!"

She tossed me the item that had upset her.

"Is this what I THINK it is?" she asked, visibly upset.

"I don't know. What DO you think it is?" I asked.

"A condom!" she hissed.

I looked at the item in my hand and laughed.

"It's a Glade PlugIn refill packet," I replied.
