A 6 year old girl was literally caught red-handed when her attempt to avoid a dreaded spelling test by faking ‘chicken pox’ backfired.

Her parents say she got the idea from a YouTube clip to draw them on with permanent red marker.

When they said she had to go to the doctor she panicked and tried to run them off bu they didn’t come off as easily as they went on. Lily had to go to class the next day with a note from her mom saying the spots were not contagious.

It took Lily and her family four days to scrub off all of the Sharpie marks.
