(We were 4 and 5 at the time i think):
If you want to get away with Mom or Dad scolding you, just start
Coughing very severely whenever they catch you doing something wrong.
They'll think you're ill or something and soon forget what you did
wrong.
Brother: Ok.
Next
day, breaks something in the house, Mom starts scolding him, he coughs
twice, mom doesn't notice, so he goes, " You're not supposed to scold
me. Yatharth told me if i cough you'll let me go and even take care of
me more. Now get me a candy."
By the time mom turns to me, I'm already half way out the door, running for my life.
