Cecelia is five months pregnant and living with her husband Arnold and his boundary-challenged mother, Martha, who habitually opens Cecelia’s packages “for the house.” The last straw comes when Martha tears into a delivery of gender-reveal supplies and blurts, “It’s a boy!” ruining the surprise Cecelia had planned. Rather than explode, Cecelia decides to set a trap that will make the point impossible to ignore.
She orders two “special” deliveries in her own name: a glitter bomb disguised as a padded envelope and a neon-pink adult toy in a plain box. Knowing Martha can’t resist, Cecelia waits as the front-door camera records her sprinting to snatch both parcels. Minutes later, a scream and a sparkling blast give the snooper her comeuppance; glitter coats the room and Martha’s glasses, while the mortifying toy sits on the coffee table.
When Arnold walks in, Cecelia calmly points out that his mother opened packages clearly addressed to her. Martha flees, mumbling it won’t happen again—but then tries to save face by gossiping to relatives that Cecelia orders “inappropriate” things while pregnant. Cecelia and Arnold circulate the door-cam clip showing Martha stealing the mail, ending the narrative instantly.
Shamed by the evidence, Martha earns the family nickname “Package Bandit,” and—more importantly—stops touching Cecelia’s deliveries. With boundaries finally respected, Cecelia savors each untouched box on the porch, a glitter-flecked reminder that one well-planned delivery can change a household’s rules for good.
