A woman’s shock revelation that she poked holes in her parents’ birth control as a child has sent millions reeling.
Keely, from the US, recently declared that she’s the reason her younger sister was conceived.
The mum of four had been keeping the secret for 25 years, but couldn’t hold it in any longer.
Keely shared that she was home alone with a friend one day when they snuck into her mum’s bedroom and went through the bedside table.
The duo found a few condoms, and after Keely’s friend explained what they were, the children decided to use a nearby sewing needle to pierce the packets.
Keely revealed the secret on her sister’s 25th birthday in a now-viral video.
She wrote that she’d kept the secret for 25 years and she thought it was time to share.
She began the video by apologising to her parents for the mistake.
‘Mum, I’m so sorry,’ she said. ‘But I’m not sorry because Sam’s here.
‘My best friend and I went into my mum and dad’s bedroom when we were younger, and there were some shiny packets on the nightstand.
‘I don’t know how she knew, but [my friend] told me [they were condoms] and explained what they were used for.’
Keely then shared that there was a sewing needle placed right next to the condoms on the nightstand.
She added that she and her friend poked lots of holes in the packets.
The American woman soon forgot about her illicit activity and was overjoyed when her parents announced that they were pregnant with her younger sister six months later.
Keely said that her mum had told her she was pregnant and she was so happy, but she said that her mum kept saying she didn’t know how it happened because they were so careful.
Millions were in hysterics over Keely’s confession.
One suggested that this needed to be in her speech when her sister gets married.
Another wrote that it was an expensive little joke.
A woman said that she hoped that she held this over her sister’s head every time they needed a favour.
A man wrote that she owed her mum child support for that.
Whether this is true or not, it’s still extremely amusing, although people will say anything to get their name in the funny papers. This particular story appears to have holes in it just like the apparent prophylactic.
