Remember that time when video game consoles were banned? Well, these kids snuck in an N64, hid it in a closet, and got caught. Instead of freaking out, Dad just asked if Mom knew, grabbed a controller, and played with them. The ultimate "don’t tell mom" moment!

    Ever had both parents secretly let you do something? This dad gave in to renting South Park (yep, the no-holds-barred adult cartoon). Then Mom rented it again. Both told me to keep it secret, but little did they know I'd already watched it in theaters. Got them good, huh?
