Mum sends five-year-old to school nativity with sex doll sheep

‘I just can’t believe it. I don’t know whether to laugh or cry!’ says Helen Cox

A mum mistakenly sent her five-year-old to his school nativity with an inflatable sheep sex doll which she bought online as part of a £16.99 fancy dress costume.

Helen Cox said she had no idea what the real purpose of the product when she bought it for her son Alfie.

The 46-year-old mother-of-two added that confused when a teacher told Alfie to take the sheep home a week before the nativity at his school in their hometown of Alloa, Scotland.

“It was part of his costume and I thought he might have been naughty and snuck it out of school,” she said.

The penny finally dropped when she decided to blow it up for him at home and realised it had a huge hole in its bottom – as well as red lips and eyelashes.

“I just can’t believe it. I don’t know whether to laugh or cry! How am I going to explain this to his teachers?” she said. “I have no idea if they’ve seen it was a sex toy and that’s why they sent it home – I’m mortified!”

The outfit, which Helen bought on Amazon in November, was listed as “Labreeze kids boys brown shepherd costume inflatable sheep nativity fancy dress outfit”.

She found the exact same sheep was on sale as a “stag night bonkin’ sheep”.

Unfortunately, Alfie has now become obsessed with the animal prop.

“I told him it didn’t look like a proper sheep because it had a moustache, red lipstick and a bow on its head, but he still wanted to play with it. I couldn’t think of any more reasons why not,” psychology student Ms Cox said.

“He’s probably in his room right now stuffing Lego in the hole.”

Amazon has since pulled the product from its website, saying in a statement: “All sellers must follow our selling guidelines and those who don’t will be subject to action including potential removal of their account. The product in question is no longer available.”
