A Virginia mother who ordered a toy sword for her son's seventh birthday got more than she bargained for when she discovered hundreds of rounds of ammunition inside the Toys R Us package.

[I] didn't know what to do! I was just completely in shock,’ recalled Yasemin Stephenson in an interview with 13NewsNow. ‘What if my son had opened the box?’

Stephenson, who lives in Virginia Beach and works in the health care field, went on Toys R Us’ website last week to order presents for her son Connor’s upcoming birthday, including a Minecraft Foam Diamond Sword.

What if my son had opened it?!?!?!

Oh the horror!!! Ammunition!! Bullets!!!

M’am the sword is riskier than the ammo, and worth a lot less.

What if my boy had opened the package and seen them ?

He'd'a had a nice afternoon playing with some neat blocks that were shiney and had a manly heft to him

Probably would grow up to be a man in spite of your fearful girly ways

‘What if my son had opened the box?’

What a moron. What does she think that her son would load the bullets into his finger gun and shoot someone?

Instead of the bullets, she'll give him a Minecraft sword which the son will go around hacking and slashing things to death in his mind.

16 boxes for 20 bucks? I’ll buy it at her cost, so she can re-order the toy to teach her son to violently kill.

Bit of irony in her buying violent toys and then complaining about ammo.
