You got busted son!

There's a rewarding feeling, as a parent, when you catch your child doing stuff that you might have tried to pull as a child, or that you know was very commonplace to do as a child. 
 
Like not showing their parents a bad progress report and figuring we'll never find out. 
Or taking a call from the school and saying we aren't home. 
Or trying to stay home from school because they're coughcough so sick coughcough. 
Or getting their friends to call and ask if the kid can do something. 
 
You get the picture.  So if you're a parent, what have you caught your kid doing, or are looking forward to catching them doing?  If you're not a parent, what did you do as a kid that you got in trouble for that you hope to one day catch your kid doing? 
  

 
Personally, my kid pulled a few of them at once today.  Or tried to.  Apparently progress reports from her math class went home Friday.  We never saw one.  Never heard about it.  Until the math teacher called me today.  And told me my kid is missing 10 assignments.  The teacher says, granted, she's still getting a B in the class, but she could have an A easily if she just did her work.  So the teacher and the kid had a talk today.  And the kid begged and pleaded and tried bargaining with the teacher not to call us.  She even tried asking the teacher when she was planning on calling... (what, was she going to try picking up the phone and telling us it was a telemarketer or something?)  She's at home now with dad, and although dad knows all about my call with the teacher, she hasn't mentioned a thing.  I'm not the kind of parent to swear that my kid is an angel... but I certainly didn't expect her to pull these stunts quite yet.  She's 11. 
 
But again,  So if you're a parent, what have you caught your kid doing, or are looking forward to catching them doing?  If you're not a parent, what did you do as a kid that you got in trouble for that you hope to one day catch your kid doing?
