I asked him what it went to and what it did and he proceeded to show me its versatility over the next few days it helped the Paw Patrol save the town, it was a treasure chest holding tiny pebbles guarded by pirates, a force fiel d protecting a space ship. It came with us to the park, grocery shopping, and even out to dinner one night. I loved that it had its own little satchel and assumed it just went to a play set.Versatile is right From being a receptacle capable of holding 65% of the average persons period blood at once to park pal to dinner table companion, this cup was clearly seeing a lot of action.Then, things really got interesting.Fast forward to this morning, the dad writes, and as were getting ready for school Alexa reminds us that its show and tell today at school.So, what does his son grab, of course, but his new special new silicone friend.I pick him up after school and his teacher asks to speak with me, he continues.

Weve been playing with that thing for days, he added.The full convo on Reddit is worth a read but, unsurprisingly, it culminates in the dad understanding just how special his sons new toy is.
