Girl's attempt at 'faking chickenpox' to miss test backfires after she uses permanent marker

By Alexandria Hein | Fox News

A 6-year-old’s attempt at faking sick to miss school has left her “red-in-the-face” after the marker she used to cover herself in phony chickenpox turned out to be permanent. Lily Schooley, who was allegedly dreading an upcoming spelling test, had reportedly seen a similar stunt pulled on YouTube.

The Cornwall student reportedly asked to borrow a marker to do her homework before appearing 10 minutes later with what she described as an “itchy rash,” according to the Mirror.co.uk.



When Lily’s mom, Charlotte, said she’d have to go to the doctor, she reportedly headed back upstairs to rub the rash off — and that’s where she ran into trouble.

Charlotte Schooley told the news outlet that Lily had come down with chicken pox before, and had several classmates out with the illness so she figured she had a believable plan.

A six-year-old has that much test anxiety to concoct a scheme like that?

Here's why parents shouldn't let their young children anywhere near the internet (unsupervised, anyway).

She did a pretty good job with the pen.  Looks realistic.
