HELP! Dd has accidentally bought me a penis candle!

[aimeeniamh59]

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?

I'd be more worried about the quality of sex Ed at the school she's attending..... Also we need a pic.

OP, you need at least 3-400 posts to have any hope of getting into the DM. Sorry but it’s probably not going to happen.

Not helpful at all but this gave me a flashback to the time my friend bought chocolate body paint for her mum.

We were about 10/11 and completely innocent. She just thought her mum would lick it off her arm or something I guess...?

She year 9?

She's having a giraffe op

She'll be sharing this thread with her mates left right and centre. Dear old mummy !

Yes!of course the my dp said... as if he’s the arbitrar of everything.it smacks of shut up lil women my man has spoken
Frankly who cares if the dp has spoken?we don’t need to acquiesce to his opinion

Just light the candle and get rid of the ‘offending’ end. She’ll be none the wiser.

If you think she didn’t know, ask her if any of her friends helped her pick it. They may be having a laugh at her if she didn’t notice. But if it’s like the one you linked, I think it’s pretty obvious!

Hello all ye lighting and homewares lovers! As you can probably imagine, we are receiving quite a few posts about this one. "Is it the new penis beaker?" has so far been the most-asked question.
Answer: We don't know.
We can never know 100% if people are who they say they are, but for some of us the memory of FrannyandZooey's son's sculpture is forever seared in the brain and so we are inclined to give this one the benefit of the doubt for the moment.
So that's your next challenge. Find Franny's thread... it MUST be in Classics. There's no justice in this world if it isn't.

Need a pic OP to see if its is actually a candle shaped Eiffel tower or if you have a filthy mind.

Weebo picture is a Eiffle tower shaped candle with a slight resemblance to a penis so on need to tell your dd anything, your link is to a Eiffle tower shaped penis dildo which is completely different.

If she’s visiting The City of London anytime soon probably best to tell her not to bring any Gherkin based merch’ home.

the papers are trawling again ladies this thread has made it to the Mirror
must be a slow news day

Need a picture please !!!!!!

Actually, London is a phallic symbolism minefield!

It's not just the Gherkin. There's Nelson's Column too. And not forgetting Big Ben, even if Big Ben's dong is currently out-of-action.

And not forgetting Big Ben

Big Ben is just the bell end.

The fact that this made it in any paper it’s mental. It’s hardly side splitting

Franny’s Clay cock is in classics by the way. I’m reluctant to link it since the shitty journos at The Mirror are having a slow lazy day lifting dumb threads like this one.

I would accept it graciously and not say a thing. By the sound of it, it would really embaress her.

Pic looks innocent to me 😇😇

If your dd did indeed buy this for a “laugh” for her mum, she would be smirking and giggly. Ignore all the filthy minded people. If you believe it was an innocent mistake that’s all that matters.

Wow 😮 so many judgy pant critics. What’s wrong with sharing a funny story. Why do people think it’s contrived and an effort to get into classics?

Idobelieveinfairies2018 that didn't take long did it? I find it hard that could pass for 'news' though?!

Why would people not believe this..!?
When I was young (younger than your DD though OP! She does seem very young!) I bought my parents a model from Amsterdam that said mum and dad-stoned again. I thought it was funny because the stones had little faces... obviously they never put it on the mantle piece and now I know why! 😂🙈
I'm happy to hear there is still such innocence in teenagers to be honest.

Why would people not believe this..!?

Because I find it highly unlikely that a fourteen year old wouldn't know what a cock looked like because (a) they should've been having decent sex education where at least drawings of knobs were present, (b) it's very unlikely they've managed to get to this age without seeing porn of some kind given how prevalent it, social media and mobile phones are and, (c) even if they don't know the graphic, veiny silhouette of a cock surely they'd recognize something vaguely dick-shaped when they saw it. That's not to mention that many fourteen year olds might be starting to have sexual encounters so might well have seen a real-life knob.

Moreover, OP's daughter has just been in Paris. Surely she'd recognise that the candle-makers have got the top of the Eiffel Tower completely wrong. Even if she was naive enough not to recognise it as a stonker, surely she wouldn't have bought it because it's a shit replica.

In addition, the fact the OP hasn't posted a picture of the candle and only provided a link, screams to me that said candle doesn't actually exist.

Still, OP has fulfilled part of her little wish to be picked by the media. Well done OP. I'm sure someone will nominate this for Classics once they've cleaned the snorted coffee off their laptop.

Yeah it is becoming a little unbelievable, coz the OP seems incapable of posting a pic, she has never posted under this name before, and no-one believes that a 14 y.o. would not be able to tell the difference between a candle in the shape of the Eiffel tower, and a candle in the shape of a penis.

I am not accusing the OP of being a 'troll' or saying she is lying; I wouldn't do that/say that, but lots of things aren't adding up.
