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?

[gamerchick]

I wouldn't mind a willy for a day just to work out why they keep checking it's still there. Does it feel like it's going to drop off?

[Haffdonga]

Wow Derek. You look quite hot as a winky photo man. Now your ds should do a Daily Mail Sad Face one in return.

[DancingDinosaur]

i intend on spoiling his whole childhood. This is just the tip of the iceberg

You monster

[TheOptimisticPessimist]

Spectacular

Now what's the bet more parents try this little prank courtesy of the news coverage and in 20 years we have an influx of users saying they were scarred by their evil, abusive parents that lied to them about needing to go to school in the holidays...

kids in therapy saying 'I got derek'd by my mum'

[FairNotFair]

You da man, Derek! (Or at least, you "da man" according to The Sun. Well done.)

[FairNotFair]

"To Derek" (verb): to ruin an innocent child's innocent childhood with a harmless prank.

[bearleftmonkeyright]

Stunned and highly amused that this has ended up in The Sun, "parent does normal harmless stuff with their kids shocker"

Some of u need to lighten up! We lie to our kids on a daily basis eg tooth fairy Santa etc....i tell my kids they are bk at school so I can get a early night 😂 I have also lied to them that we were meeting their dads friend when actually we were going on holiday that totally ruined their childhood! Jeez! Lieing in a jokey way will not cause harm!

[Masketti]

'dad does normal harmless stuff with his kids shocker' bear

Clearly the pond scum journalist who wrote this piece didn't read the thread properly as so many people refer to Derek as she. What a numb nut! It's a bit shit what passes for 'news' these days. no offense Derek you often make me chuckle with your contributions but clearly you have gone Too Far

[ILostItInTheEarlyNineties]

to Derek, verb Is this going into Wikipedia? ..you've been dereked.
Poor Derek ventured back onto MN with a name change, and ends up in the Sun.

I told my 3dd's exactly the same thing last night. They would have loved to find out I was only joking but as we're in Scotland they are now in school

He appears to be totally fine and unscathed by my cruel joke

I must try harder
