After their daughter goes to bed at night, she sets up a flashlight under her bedspread to get some “sneaky” reading in. She’s reading the Harry Potter series, and it seems her flashlight magically never runs out of batteries!
These parents took to X to discuss their daughter’s big rebellion, and they’ve got some fun suggestions!
The headlamp idea is phenomenal! It’s so cool that she gave it a go, but she seemed to prefer her “trusty LED flashlight.”
This is another fun joke. Hey, if you’re going to rebel, you may as well do it with literature!
However, this thread made some viewers realize they probably weren’t as sneaky as they thought.
“So it’s likely my parents knew I used to play Nintendo and hide it under my pillow…” reflected one viewer.
“I remember having to hide the books under your pillow, and just reading them all in a night,” said another.
Were you a sneaky reader?
