I bet the lucky rabbits foot story was retold at his 21st

I’m a teacher and we have had all sorts over the 20 years! Some of my favourites are a pair of Mums underwear and an old tissue with green boogers in it.

No surprises that insects and animals tops the list. When we had the property, our kids used to take in all sorts of nests, eggs, bones, feathers and snake skins. Often they were left at school for their science tables or library displays, as we had plenty more to find around the farm. Nothing new for country kids but boy did it make some of the town kids squirm.

I remember always trying to have something cool for show and tell alot of the kids I went to school with went on holidays and had souvenirs from the holidays to show I rarely went places I remember lying a few times and taking things that weren’t from where I said and making up a big story one time I put shampoo in a zip lock bag and told everyone it was this cool new slime I got while on holidays it smelt like apples everyone loved it this was before slime was really a thing haha

I can only remember one experience of show and tell of my own. We’d gone to my Nan and Pops over the weekend and she’d had the farrier out to tend to her horses (she had 8 back then I think). I collected some shavings and bagged them up to take to school. As soon as you opened the bag the earthy scent of manure and dirt was like a smack in the face. Putrid to some but to me, it was the smell of Kurnell and my childhood.

Omg my worst nightmare, dead bird

My son took a bunch of flowers for show and tell. He told his class that a strange man had dropped them off for his Mum. I was getting a few funny looks when people saw me down the street. It was actually a bunch of roses my husband had delivered for my Birthday. That’s right. My son took them before I’d even seen them. Made for a very unique Birthday

I would be horrified with the bat.
When I was little I forgot to bring my ‘show and tell’ and while I was waiting for the bus I was crying because I thought I was going to get into trouble for not bringing something. So I collected about 14 cicada shells, put them in a tissue in my bag. When it was my turn to show them only 2 survived the bag ride and the rest were crushed up. I put them on my finger to show the class and the little legs got stuck and I freaked out because I couldn’t get them off. It flew off into a girls hair and she panicked and hit her head crushing the shell into her hair. Our class got panned on bringing animal stuff in.

I honestly can’t remember, but I’m sure there were some embarrassing things along the way …..

How funny are they!

I always help my kids to select items for there show and tell.

Lol they are so cute. Try so hard

Kids, so innocent

I needed a laugh, love the rabbit foot story.

My kids sure brought pets, but luckily they were alive.

Mercifully, if my kids have done anything like that, their teachers haven’t told me!

OMG! That was such a long time ago. I can’t remember much, but it was probably always footy related.

How good is this!

Hahahaha these are excellent! I remember taking photos to show and tell because nothing happened.

We usually had a family outing each Sunday, so hopefully they shared something about that and didn’t need to mention anything too embarrassing.
