TIFU by accidentally giving both of my grandmother's porn. Update.

(Edit notes at end of post) (Edit to add, I've been made aware about the grammatical mistake)

So I was at a comic con in November. Its was tons of fun and I had a great time.

In the last section of the convention was various writers.

We stopped by a table and the author was telling me about her new books. Full of mini stories, a comedy and has the odd sexual thing in it.

Well I thought to myself, my nan and grandma are often sharing their romantic novels, it must be like one of those. Be right up their street.

So I got two copies and the author signed both to make it that bit extra special for them.

I felt good about myself when they opened them on Christmas day, explained they were funny short stories and they both seemed excited about it.

Well today, 3 days later my nan told me, with a nervous demeanor that she read through a bit of the book and had to put it down. She said she couldn't read any further.

I asked if it was that bad, thinking that the writing style must be difficult to follow or perhaps there's lots of spelling mistakes... no....

To my horror my nan went on to describe some of it and told me about some of the gory details. How the protagonist in each story ended up having public sex...in practically ever story...

So I'm dreading calling up my grandma to warn her of the potential content she will be reading...

That will be fun...

Edit: I called my grandma to warn her that the book is something she wouldn't at all like and was dismayed to discover she had already read a bit of it. With a chuckle in her voice she told me some of the graphic descriptions before going on to say its not her thing and threatening to let me read it. Ha ha I'm good.

TL:DR I brought both of my grandmothers a book I thought was a wholesome comedy with the odd reference to sex. But i was wrong, it was a graphic sex book and I'm very embarrassed.

My nanna who told me first, I think saw the funny side, but it's too filthy for her, as it is for my grandma.

But my grandma was laughing as she told us of my mistake where as my nan seemed very embarrassed about the whole thing.

This is probably one of the obscure reasons why there's a saying

"Never judge a book by its cover"

What was the book called? Asking for a friend

Both of your grandmas have been around the block a few times. Though it was probably a bit awkward to get a pornographic novel from their grandson.

I'd do my best to not think about it anymore and uh don't give either grandma any more porn.

It's not a porn if it's in novel form. It's an erotica.

OK, but the grammar error makes it seem like it’s porn that belongs to your grandma, or porn that your grandma made.

“Grandmother’s” is possessive, meaning something belongs to your grandmother.

The correct form is “grandmothers” without the apostrophe, because that’s the plural form.

Not judging! It’s a common mistake. I just thought it was funny.

Some grandmothers seem reserved and doesn't seem to talk about sex but in fact, they love it and in private they can make some deep joke that no one will expect them to say. Don't forget they are adult and they know a lot more about sex that we think they know.

Oh I'm fully aware. I'm also aware that neither of them like sure over detail on such. My grandma's often saying they don't need to show it on TV just a cut to the next more and it all "done and dusted" which is sadly a term I now relate to sex 😅

I would be mortified if this happened to me but this is hilarious! Sounds like they had a good sense of humour about it! You'll laugh about in years to come!

When I was 12 or 13 I remember reading a book from the library called Freaks' Amour. It was.........different.

That’s ok it’s just that I would never have done anything with either of my grand mothers’ collections of pornography (if I thought it remotely possible that they had such things). [Learn to have a laugh at yourself]
