HELP! Dd has accidentally bought me a penis candle!

Dd in year 9 got back from her French exchange in Paris yesterday - she bought presents for me, Dh and both her siblings.

One problem - she bought me what she thought was an innocent Eiffel Tower candle. It clearly isn’t.

Should I break it to her?

We're going to need a picture.

Pic or it didn't happen.

Seeline · 23/03/2018 09:31

Picture!!

MatildaTheCat · 23/03/2018 09:31

Burn the evidence.

bannanapeppers · 23/03/2018 09:31

pics or it didnt happen Grin

Just leave it for now- she is 9. She will have forgotten she gave it to you tomorrow.

I'd save it to give back to her as a gag gift on her 18th birthday.

It's hilariously innocent.

Seeline · 23/03/2018 09:32

Mind you - if she is Y9 I would've thought she clearly knew it wasn't the Eiffel Tower and bought it t see your reaction Grin

Definitely need a picture

I think we require a picture

Bless her! I think I accidentally bought my gran a dildo when I visited West Africa. I thought it was just a nice carving but the more I think about it the more I wonder. And cringe!

I say just accept it. Burn it soon - as it is so nice. Laugh about it together when she is about 25.

cloudtree · 23/03/2018 09:33

In year 9? There is no way that is an innocent mistake.

beboldbebluntbehonest · 23/03/2018 09:33

Definitely need a pic I'm afraid

StayPositiveOk · 23/03/2018 09:34

Quick! Burn it!!!

SparklyMagpie · 23/03/2018 09:34

Need to see the evidence but in year 9 she's having you on

ZoeWashburne · 23/03/2018 09:35

I just saw it was YEAR 9 and not aged 9! Just let it go.

And definitely need pics or it didn't happen.

I'm trying to envision how a penis could even remotely resemble the Eiffel Tower.

aimeeniamh59 · 23/03/2018 09:37

I can’t work out how to post a photo, but it looks just like the one on this link:

throwingmyarmsaroundparis.com/2013/08/21/la-tour-est-folle-lamour-100-made-in-france-and-hypoallergenic/

And I honestly don’t think she did realise - she’s at a girls’ school and very innocent/naive for her age.

Isn't year 9 full of 13-14 year olds? Surely they can tell the differed between a pen is and the Eiffel Tower by then? If she couldn't then the boys with her will so then he cat is define out of the bag. She's testing you op, to see what you do!!

SouthWestmom · 23/03/2018 09:37

Hmmmmm. Spot the difference between the candles. I suspect this is maybe a funny story?

Must be a very pointy penis

Emma198 · 23/03/2018 09:37

When I was about ten I bought my dad some socks that I thought said 'good banker cos he's always been good with money. They actually said 'good banker. My Mam burst out laughing and told me and even now nearly 20 years later I'm still mortified if I think about it. Worst of it was he wore them! Given I'm scarred for life by a similar situation, I vote don't tell her! Tell her you burned it already!

pencilhoarder · 23/03/2018 09:37

She has my sympathies, I'm always confusing the two, and you can imagine how disappointing my last visit to Paris was....Grin

I asked her why it was shaped like that, and she said she thought it was just a candle shape on top of an Eiffel Tower base.
