That Free Stuff Had A Cost

I’m a teenage girl in high school at the time. I come home to see my mom sitting in the living room, looking confrontational.

Mom: “Would you like to explain why I found condoms in your room?!”

In hindsight, my response of “that’s funny, I don’t use condoms” probably wasn’t the best idea. It took a while for Mom to recover from that one.

Context: I was telling the truth! I didn’t use condoms because I wasn’t having sex! They were just given out for free at some sexual health clinic, and I just thought, “Hey, free stuff!”
