This Little Girl Forgot She Snuck Her Pet To School In Her Sippy Cup, And The Story Of How She Got Caught Red-Handed Is Hilarious
It may not look like it, but an adorable 3-year-old named Peyton is up to something fishy in this photo...
Here's the hilarious story — shared by Peyton's relative Connor Hughes — of how she snuck her pet fish into preschool:
Having recently gotten married, @BrieHughes3 & I have started the discussion on having children. I received this text message from my cousin today and I'm not sure we're ready.
Basically, Peyton took her pet fish to school in a sippy cup...
...and she only got caught because she forgot the fish was in her cup and DRANK THE FISH WATER, drawing the attention of her teacher, who noticed something (the fish) in her cup! 🤢🐟🤢🐟
BuzzFeed spoke to Peyton's mom, Lauren, to learn more about her shenanigans.
Peyton's fish, named Mermaid, became a member of their family in October after Peyton was infatuated with the fish during a trip to Petco. "Picking out the right one was a huge decision for her and, after a long 15 minutes, she finally made her choice," said Lauren.
However, a little over a week ago, Lauren received a call from Peyton's preschool program director. "I was absolutely not prepared to pick up the phone and hear, 'Mrs. Scanlan, did you happen to know that Peyton brought her Beta fish to school today in her sippy cup?!' I just replied with, 'Um, no Ms. Cheryl, I did NOT know that she smuggled her fish this morning in her sippy cup,'" laughed Lauren.

Lauren said she was in shock and mortified, but she and the program director couldn't help but crack up. "I did ask, 'Please tell me something like this has happened before at the school.'" And her reply was, 'No, this is a first for our school!'"
