There it was, in full view as all three peered into the vehicle. Not a bra, but something that indeed resembles it. 

The dad took to his Twitter account to share a picture of the hilarious mix-up, and it left me in stitches. You have to agree that you can't blame the little one for getting confused. It does look like a "cup thingie with straps".

What relief the mom and dad must have felt after discovering this item. Phew!
