To not tell my son I lied to him?

[DerekSprechenZeDick]

And let him continue pretending to be poorly and see how far he goes?

I told him last night that he's back at school today. He has woken with a super bad fake cough, has complained about belly ache, his toe also hurts him.

I'm waiting to be told he has a broken leg

How ill should I let him get before I let him know I was messing with him and he has weeks yet?

Your son is pure epic genius and I love it!

This means war now

He's going to have to go to work with you and spend the day sat there, arms and legs crossed because you and your colleagues can't be distracted?

I was thinking of just destroying his minecraft world *

*Thats a joke, I don't know how to

I got flamed once (not on here) because I copied the Disney advert and told my kids we were going to Disneyland in the morning.

But I knew my kids definitely didn't want to go there - instead of the "hooray"s like the advert I got "No, I want to go to Wales,"

But I was still accused of getting their hopes up and then smashing them even though I knew what their reaction would be, which was why I did it. If they really wanted to go I wouldn't have upset them by saying that and then telling them it was a trick.

We know our own kids no how they'll react to jokes.

Your kids would rather go to Wales than Disneyland?! Are they aliens!

They've got no interest in Disney, never have. Though they'd love to go to Universal studios, to the Harry Potter part.

brilliant boy!
I love that he hasn't cracked yet...that is determination!

Even more respect for your son! I want to shake his little hand.

Your son obviously learned from the best and at such a young age!

Who knows what sophisticated pranks he's going to pull as he matures.

You should be very, very scared.........

My uniform is hung up on the wardrobe. He offered to get me my work shoes

The kid ain't breaking!

If you feel up to it,

Get dressed into your work uniform, leave the house and go to the pub

I would love the pub any other time. I will try this again in late October

I told you you should watch your back!!

1 win to OPs DS!!

Ha! Looking forward to how this charade plays out tomorrow make sure it's wrapped up by 11am when my interview starts

I mentioned breakfast club again and he just giggled.

I've moaned most of the day about having to go back and not once has he snapped. I'm quite impressed with his dedication

Snigger

Absolutely brilliant!!! Really impressed.
I think to break it you need to "phone" the cinema to cancel tickets that you had bought as you will be at work.

Surely you can outwit the 7 year old???!!!

Ohhhh, I love your little dude! Who will break first? What is your plan? Actually looking forward tomorrow morning's alarm going off. I'm sorry. OP, but he's won! So much for PP's suggesting he'd be damaged - the only loser here is....... YOU!

Nothing will work. He will cut his nose off to spite his face. Something he gets from me

I dunno, OP - technically, you cracked first..... He's as sharp as a razor. Have you got some unpopular relative/place he hates to go that you can suggest to him, as you are 'unexpectedly due in work'? I hate to say it, but you are up against a pretty smart seven year old here......(sets alarm, which is unknown in the hols).

I have loved this thread it has been brilliant.
I love your ds, he sounds great and I too come from a family of pranksters.

Having caught up from before though, needed to say that my comments on the bad parenting was made to those being PO, obviously not capable of giving their dc a sense of humour, which I do think is bad parenting.

It wasn't to you Derek

Right Derek you're going to have to play dirty . Get him up tomorrow morning ,put your uniform on and drive him to the place he hates most.

He woke me at 7am. I got up and went to get uniform. He giggled and said 'ha tricked you!'

Then said 'that's what you get mum'

He is adorable!

Watch out though, Child #2 will be his evil minion.
