Being a parent comes with lots of learning moments for both parents and kids. When is it the time to teach your kid a life lesson and when is it the time to pat them on the back and encourage their behavior? It’s up to the parents’ digression and it can be hard to figure out.

For this mother, however, she knew this was a moment to pat her kid on the back even if his school was punishing him. Him and a friend pulled a harmless prank by putting Skibidi toilet memes on all the school’s monitors. They got caught and were sent to the principal’s office. They were discussing punishment and the mom was called. She told him that if he tells the truth, then she won’t punish him and he just has to do the time the school gives him. However, if he lies, then he gets punished at home and at school. So he confessed to his crime. What was it? He hacked the schools system and outsmarted the IT Director’s firewall. It was so impressive, that the IT director needed him to show him how he did it. 

Though the school was upset, the mom was impressed and wanted to reward his intelligence.
