As parents, grandparents, aunts, and uncles, we know that the kids in our lives can be real big weirdos sometimes. Now imagine just how much "weirdness" teachers experience on a regular basis, dealing with quite a few kids in a single day.
Recently, teachers on Reddit have been sharing some of the funniest and most bizarre things that their students have brought in for Show and Tell. Some of them are truly strange, like the student who brought in a body part inside a jar. But others have an even crazier story, like the student who brought in gloves that are now probably part of a criminal investigation.
I was a weird kid, but I don't know that I ever went to these extremes. Scroll through below to see why teachers can't keep these stand-out Show and Tells a secret anymore. Are you a teacher who has seen worse? Or did you bring in something bizarre when you were a kid? Let us know in the comments and don't forget to SHARE with the parents and teachers in your life!

"One day this kid brought in a pair of gloves to show. It turns out the boy's dad gave him the gloves to wear when they went to burgle houses. The dad would put the kid through an open window, the kid would then open a door and wait outside while the dad stole stuff." — alexayers

And though it isn't from a teacher, one last one because it's just too good:
"We had a nanny/babysitter growing up, and she had told my brother to walk himself to school. He was six, I was three. He walked me to his school, announced to his teacher that I was his show and tell. The school called my mother and said, 'Hello, we have Beanieking in the office right now.' She laughed and told them, 'Beanieking doesn't go to school, she's 3.' 'Yeah. we know. Her brother brought her in for show and tell.'" — Beanieking
