So I (24F) was catching up with my mum over FaceTime and she goes ‘oh btw did you lose some earrings in your dad’s car last time you visited?’ and flipped the camera around to show me the earrings. Now for the past few years I basically only wear the same few pairs of gold hoops and these earrings were not gold hoops, they were a pair of big silver heart-shaped studs, so I was automatically like ‘oh no those aren’t mine’.

Then my mum goes ‘oh well that’s interesting, because they’re not mine and they’re not either of your sisters’ either’ and I could tell she was implying my dad has had another woman in his car and was lying about it. It was in that moment that I suddenly remembered buying a pair of silver heart-shaped earrings years ago to match a specific necklace. I hadn’t immediately recognised them because they’re not actually really my style and I only wore them a handful of times before misplacing them, but my dad never cleans out his car so they could easily have been there this whole time. I tried to row back and explain this to my Mum but she didn’t believe me, saying ‘no I knew they weren’t your style, you’d remember if you’d bought them’ obviously thinking I was covering for my dad.

The funny thing is, my dad is probably the least likely man ever to have an affair, he’s super nerdy and introverted, doesn’t like most people, is absolutely devoted to my mum and HATES cheaters as he’s been cheated on by his first wife before meeting my mum.

I’m now trying to find the receipt to prove it was me who bought those earrings in case I have to step in and help my dad clear his name.

TL;DR My mum is worried my dad is cheating on her because she found some earrings I left in his car years ago and forgot about and I accidentally said they weren’t mine
