Is this phone case inappropriate? I need your first thought upon seeing it

[Anonymous]

I thought this was a funny looking little phone case for my 3rd grader who will be getting my old phone to play with (WiFi only).



Coworker has now educated me that everyone will automatically think eggplants are male genitalia. Is that true?

[Anonymous]

Yes

[Anonymous]

I meant its not appropriate bc of what you coworker said

I think it's fine. Most kids aren't going to know the eggplant reference and it doesn't even look like the eggplant emoji.

In an emoji, yes. In this context, no.

Your coworker... is interesting

I think it’s fine.

I’m not sure why you mentioned WiFi only. The sites your kid can access need to be monitored. Uncontrolled screen time can happen with WiFi access.
Limited use and limited apps/websites would be better.

I didn't even think of the eggplant reference when looking at this phone case, OP. It's just a really ugly shade of purple, but it's appropriate for children. Your coworker, on the other hand, has problems.

Op- eggplant emoji = penis

I would not get this case. Probably no 3rd grader will know, but some have older siblings. It just isn't worth it. And if my 53 year old a$$ knows, probably some elementary kids do

+1 Hopefully younger kids don’t know this, but older kids will and could say something. Just get another one.

Your third grader shouldn’t be playing with a phone.

I thought the jellycat eggplant was a cute present for my dd for about 1/2 of a second until the emoji jumped in my mind. Then i bought her the avocado.

I mean, my first thought was "For heaven's sake, that's a cute cell phone case for a kid. It's fine." But then my second thought was "Yeah ... I'd probably try to just pick something else."

Same. I am in my 40s and definitely aware of the eggplant emoji so it just seems unnecessary, there are other cute cases.

My 3rd grader would hate that. And purple is her favorite color.
