Dad’s “In Stitches” After Finding Out These Texts From His Wife Were Actually From Kids Who Hacked Her Computer

Dad’s “In Stitches” After Finding Out These Texts From His Wife Were Actually From Kids Who Hacked Her Computer

ADVERTISEMENT

Kids get into loads of random mischief. Not too long ago, one kid figured out how she could abuse a Zoom bug that effectively let her stay out of school due to technical issues. Well, the ingenuity does not stop there.

There’s another group of kids who are up to no good. But in a funny, and hence, good way.

One Twitter user has recently tweeted out some rather suspicious texts from his wife. Well, it says that it’s his wife on the phone screen, but it’s actually someone who managed to figure out her computer password and use it to their advantage.

    Kids are devilishly genius when it comes to getting their way…

    … and this guy’s kids are living proof of it

    Turns out, Michael’s kids managed to find out mom’s password, and started using her computer for personal gain

    So, writer Michael Cruz Kayne has kids who have managed to get their hands on his wife’s computer password. And of course they’re gonna use it for personal gain!

    But what sort of gain can that be? Well, Michael shared a screenshot of how it all materialized. Turns out, they used his wife’s computer to send him messages. What about it?

    Posing as Michael’s wife, the kids attempted to appeal to his human side and said, in a wifey tone, that the kids have been going through a lot at school (supposedly Zoom school) and that they deserve something nice. Nice translating to device time, and roblox during school time.

    The jig was up very fast and Michael soon sent the screenshots to his wife to see what their kids are up to

    But the jig was up immediately after it was on. Despite the message being written in an appropriate tone and even trying to clutch it with that “love you” at the end, it was obvious to Michael that this was a ruse.

    He sent a screencap to his wife, to which she replied “Huh??? Who wrote this??”, prompting Michael’s response “Your scheming kids.”

    Though it is not yet known what happened afterwards—whether they got punished, praised, or there’s some form of sweet revenge coming up, what is definitely known is that the people loved it.

    The tweet spawned numerous other stories, with people sharing what methods their kids used

    In just a day, the tweet racked up over 325,000 likes with nearly 20,000 retweets, and made some headlines online.

    It was only natural that some responded with the things their kids did to achieve similar benefits, from writing (forging?) letters to, not kidding, dressing up and impersonating others.

    What makes these letters even more fun is the cutesy child type font and the hilarious spelling errors, like “[name] will not be a bell to go to school today” or “I will make your life a nitmare.”

    Others were hella bold and just straight up wrote an excuse in the vein of “She didn’t do her homework, she’ll do it by next lesson.”

    Yet others didn’t write letters at all but instead “hacked” parents’ passwords by using the Forgot Password function, which automatically sent an e-mail to an already logged-in e-mail account, or created new users for whatever tech they were using to avoid any restrictions.

    Some time ago, Robertas used to spend his days watching how deep the imprint in his chair will become as he wrote for Bored Panda. Wrote about pretty much everything under and beyond the sun. Not anymore, though. He's now probably playing Gwent or hosting Dungeons and Dragons adventures for those with an inclination for chaos.

    I am an adoptive parent. Please don't use 'tell them they are adopted' as a punishment. Adopted kids have already had to deal with loss, they don't need to feel that being adopted makes them less loved or worthy than a biological child.

    I had my psychiatrist write a prescription for a "service" cat to convince my parents I needed a floofy little ball of evil. Didn't work. I fixed my mom's cell phone because she had been on the line with StraightTalk for over 4 hours and as a reward, I got a kitten. :o)

    So my parents are divorced but despite shared custody not having been a thing in our country, they pretty much tried their best to raise me together. Mom has a God--awful signature, Dad's is super easy. So when I got a really bad mark I forged Dad's signature and signed what used to be called the Grade Book. Little did I know that he was abroad at the time, so my little scheme didn't work out too well. Decades later, my signature is still similar to my Father's. Last year, I brought this up to my Dad as a fun tidbit. He just sat there, quiet, pensive, then said: You know. Interestingly enough your [half-] brother's signature is awfully similar to mine as well...

    Was this his way of telling you that you had a half-sibling that you weren't aware of?
