It's amazing how devious kids can be when they want something, especially if it's tech-related: A couple in England recently found out their two sons were pulling a fast one to get more cell phone time . . .
The sons' names are Ben and Fabien. They're stepbrothers, both 14. And their parents recently added a new rule . . . no phones after 9:00 P.M.
They didn't like the idea, obviously. So, they came up with a plan to trick their parents . . . by making FAKE cell phones they could use as stand-ins.
They printed out two pictures of an iPhone . . . cut the pictures out . . . taped each one inside a cell phone case . . . stuffed some paper in there to get the weight right . . . and pretended THAT was their phone.
They handed them over at nine o'clock and said they wouldn't use them anymore . . . then ran to their room to use their REAL phones. And it worked . . . for a few hours.
Their parents thought it was weird that they handed them over without an argument. Then later that night, the mom noticed a small piece of tape sticking out of one of the cases and realized what they did.
She was so impressed she didn't even get mad. But now she double-checks to make sure.
