Show and Tell was always a fun day at school, bringing in your favorite nick-nack from home, probably getting it confiscated, and then having your friend bring something even better the next day. Whatever, not bitter at all. Promise. But, it's always interesting to see what other kids think are important, interesting, or sentimental. Now, you can hear some of the weirder stories from teachers, who revealed the worst things students bought in for Show and Tell in a Reddit thread. Spoiler alert: some of these are wild!!

    Font - drwhogirl_97 · 15h Wasn't show and tell but once during morning break while I was a student teacher, two 6 year olds came to find the class teacher in the staff room. They had something to show her. She came back with pictures, these boys had found half a dead and decomposed hedgehog and decided to pick it up and put it on her desk. Needless to say hands were thoroughly washed and drenched in sanitiser

    Font - Youaresoogoodlooking · 17h My brother found a scorpion at our house and captured it to bring for show and tell. The scorpion got out somehow and the teacher had everyone on high alert to look for it and capture it. Several children returned to the teacher having "found" the scorpion. That was the day we found out our school was infested with scorpions...

    Smile - Saerica22 · 13h The teacher across the hall from me had a student who brought what he thought was a lucky rabbit foot to show to the class and excitedly announced he had enough for everyone in the class. The rabbit foot was a tampon.

    Font - BJT207 · 16h Not a teacher but one of the the kids in my class brought a remote control helicopter to class and flew it around. It was super cool until he accidentally got the blades wrapped around a girls hair. I think the nurse spent an hour getting it out.

    Font - NeedsMoreTuba · 20h 4 S I brought a bat that I'd caught inside a glass mason jar. My teacher made me release it, and the little guy made a life for himself in the breezeway between the cafeteria and the main building.
