A private Catholic elementary school is apologizing after it accidentally sold roses with thongs in them to its young students for Mother’s Day.
St. Anselm School, which is located in the Parkwood area of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and charges up to $4,950 per year in tuition, held a sale in honor of Mother’s Day last week – offering its pupils faux flowers that they could purchase for their moms.
However, to the institution’s horror, which hosts grades pre-K through eighth, the fake red roses that they sold actually contained sexy lingerie in them.
One mother, named Rachel Tremblay, received the gift from her young daughter and took a video of her and her husband discovering the kinky underwear inside.
