A Catholic elementary school in Philadelphia apologized after accidentally selling Mother’s Day flower bouquets stuffed with thongs.

Families at St. Anselm School in Northeast Philadelphia had the shock of their lives when they discovered lingerie tucked inside the flowers after a holiday sale at the school.

School officials called it an “unfortunate mistake,” and that they had no idea the flowers were intended to be erotic gifts. “We sincerely regret any embarrassment and discomfort that was caused and wish all mothers in the community a Happy and Blessed Mother’s Day with hearts full of gratitude,” Ken Gavin, spokesperson for the Archdiocese of Philadelphia, said in a statement Tuesday.

I suspect it was brilliant marketing by the Catholic school as a ploy to increase the number of children in the area.

Let’s hope it worked. I’ll check in in about nine months. I’ll let you know.
