@Joe Sixpack,
You know what though? That's the **** that makes childhood all worth it.
What are kids nowadays gonna say when they're a bit older and swapping lies with friends?
"Yeah, remember the time my mom didn't pick us up, and we had to walk all the way home? It must have been 80 degrees that day."
Or "Oh yeah, I got to the 81st level of that video game. Thought I broke my thumb."
If your parents know everything you did as a kid, you didn't do it right.
