Remember being 14 years old? Hormones were racing, moodiness was at an all-time high, and parents (but also just adults, in general) were always embarrassing you. Now, imagine being 14 years old and your mum is Gwyneth Paltrow – lover of orgasm candles, vaginal steaming and boob puzzles.
In a recent blog post for Goop, Paltrow revealed her isolation “hacks” amidst the global pandemic. The actress turned lifestyle guru shared her favourite recipes, snacks, and working from home fashion items.
She also mentioned “there’s been a lot of Trivial Pursuit happening at the house. And I got Moses the boob puzzle just for fun.”
Speaking of Gwyneth Paltrow, hear about her chaotic energy below:
The boob puzzle in question is actually a beautiful piece of art, and a helpful reminder that not all breasts are the same. However, it’s hard to fathom how awkward 14-year-old Moses must’ve felt when his mum handed him a 450-piece puzzle printed with boobs.
It’s not the only time Gwynny has embarrassed her children. In a recent interview with Jimmy Kimmel, Paltrow said, “you know, it’s funny actually, my son said to me the other day – he was like, ‘You know, at first, I thought it was really embarrassing that there were vibrators on your website. And now I think it’s a great thing.’”
Paltrow said Moses told her, “‘You’re a feminist, mom. You’re a badass.’ I was like, ‘Thank you.’”
During another recent interview with John Legend, Paltrow said, “my daughter finds me mortifying.”
“If I do anything in public, past not talking and standing still, she’s like [mouthing ‘Stop!’] If I dance she turns red,” she added.
While the thought of your mum selling vibrators and finishing a boob puzzle by your side might sound totally awkward to some – it’s a dynamic that is clearly working perfectly fine in the Paltrow household.
