Dad Is In Awe After Discovering That His Kids Were The Brains Behind His Wife’s Mischievous Texts

There's one more group of children who are looking for trouble, but in a good and, thus, funny way.

Michael Cruz Kayne thought he was getting a text from his wife, but the message had a much sneakier source. The whole thing started when his kids found a way into their mother’s computer and used it to send him a very convincing plea for extra screen time.

What followed was a classic kid move, part clever, part chaotic, and completely transparent once Michael caught on. The message claimed the children had been through a lot at school and deserved a reward, which, naturally, meant gadgets and Roblox during school hours.

That was only the beginning, because the screenshots quickly turned into a story people could not stop sharing.

In the end, Michael's children figured out how to uncover their mother's secret password, and they began using her computer to their advantage.

What's more, this person's children are living proof of it.

Regardless of the message being written in the proper tone and attempting to close it with that "Love you" toward the end, it was clear to Michael that this was a trick.

The dance was over extremely quickly, and Michael soon sent the screenshots to his wife to see what their children were doing. His wife received the screenshot, to which she was surprised and asked who wrote the text.

This incited Michael's reaction, and he responded, "Your scheming kids."

That was the moment the prank fell apart.

Regardless, the dance was over before it even began. However, it isn't yet known what happened later, whether they got rebuffed, commended, or if there's some type of sweet revenge coming up, but what is most certainly known is that people loved the story.

The tweet generated various stories, with individuals sharing what strategies their children used.

It was just natural that some responded with the things their children did to accomplish similar advantages, from composing letters to being dead serious to dressing up and mimicking others.

Some kids got their parents' password by using the "forgot password" option, which sends an email to the already opened email account.

It’s the same kind of blowup as the debate over cancelling a family vacation after a spouse’s secret invite.
