This guy sent a photo to his mum but forgot one very risqué detail

A word of warning: When texting your parent a picture of anything in your life, always check the background.

Unfortunately for Maison Vallance, when he sent his mum a photo of a t-shirt she was looking for, along with his girlfriend Meghan, he failed to notice he had left a set of ropes in a suggestive position in the frame.

Maison, from Nashville, Tennessee, didn’t realise he’d left the prop in the background of the photo until he had shared it on Twitter and a friend commented asking what the ropes at the head of the bed were for.

Once he had realised his mistake, he entered into the hilarity of it all, retweeting himself and sharing his error.

Twitter users loved the tweet, retweeting it over 59,000 times, at which point Maison thought he should inform his mum what was really in the photo.

“I told my mom this morning and she thought it was hilarious,” said Maison.

“My dad even said it ‘looks like you’re trying to hang Christmas lights’.”

Clearly his parents have a sense of humour, and Maison is also taking the viral fame in his stride.

“It’s amazing how viral things can get when a few people with a good following retweet it,” he said.

“I feel like a celebrity and it’s great. I would hope that everyone can have their five seconds of fame one day, it’s a wonderful feeling!”
