I remember doing this with Ian.

Those nightmare days.

Anyway, a mother on TikTok, her name is Melanie, she took her 14-year-old daughter's phone away at 8.30 at night because she was just like acting really badly.

And she had to leave the phone charging on the floor outside her bedroom.

But upon closer inspection, the mother realized that she has been tricked.

Oh, my gosh, this is amazing.

The daughter had drawn black circles onto a piece of paper.

Then she put it inside an empty iPhone case.

And she then placed the charger into the slot to make it look like the phone was actually on a charger.

That was her phone.

All it was was in an empty box.

Okay, of course, this is the internet.

People are divided.

Now, some people are saying that the mother's too strict.

You should never take a phone away from a child.

And then others are saying, good job, mom.

But I think they're totally missing the point.

I mean, think about this.

If the girl can figure out how to trick her mother like this at the age of 14, this mother totally has to be on her A game, I mean, before the kid moves out.

Because you have to think about this.

I mean, what's the difference between a teenager and a terrorist?

Well, you can negotiate with a terrorist. That's right.
