Watching Top Gear with JMac has led to me sharing a fun example of my “evil genius” exerting itself as a teen. They had a challenge on the show to pretend to be teens and “sneak in” to their parents home 3 hours past curfew the quietest. I pointed out that their plan was all wrong

(My solution was to be so good that I ever needed a curfew.
So when I came in at 2 am one morning, my mother scolded me -
and I told her, "Gee, I was with (people she knew & trusted)"
& that was that. Until the very next weekend when I came in
at 4, & she said "You came in at 2 am, again, didn't you?" & I
promptly said "Yes, I'm sorry - it won't happen again."

I had a wild phase that lasted for about 4 weeks one summer.
Wild for me, I guess. I never liked even the idea of drugs,
booze or sleeping around, and my parents knew it. Gee, I'm
just so boring...)

WOW. I never would have been quiet enough to sneak in and pull that off......not ever. I just blatantly defied curfews and would routinely come home drunk and obnoxious when confronted. Yes, I was a handful. I made it up to them later.

I bow to your pure evil.

I think that was the advantage of living in a ranch style house. I used to sneak in and out of my bedroom window at all hours.

Nice. Of course this sort of thing would be a lot harder today, when many folks rely on cell phones for accurate time - those are a bit harder to reset (not sure you can actually - most phones just download time directly from satellite).
