This is why we trust but verify. Thanks mom for teaching me that cruel lesson of unplugging the phone cord to get me to bed (dial up days). It lasted about a week before I caught on you always came up from the basement before bed.

I'm so glad you never noticed I swapped my line with the guest bedroom. Also glad that ancient block in the basement could be hand wired.

Ah the eternal arms race between parents and children. For me it was lights out so I couldnโ€™t read, circumvented with a flashlight under the blanket.

for me it was logging into the router webpage, getting my parents mac and ip addresses, and cloning them after they turned off their devices and my Internet for the night lol

Part of being an adult is never getting enough sleep and almost always being tired.

Sure, but I'm assuming the "mom" in OP's story was just trying to help their child get enough sleep.
