Give it back to her, but with a cracked screen. That'll learn her....

To the OP - good work
To Zulu - excellent work, I'd like to think I'd do the same just for a giggle but would probably bottle out
The best thing I have learnt since having kids is not to pay too much attention to parenting advice/opinions/guidance from anyone other than my own mum & dad ...

although in an effort to avoid the errors you feel your parents made bringing you up you end up repeating the ones your grandparents made.
Check this thread out:
Is there an English version anywhere?
I just make mine produce their DS/iPod before leaving. That way it doesn't go out of the house. The teenager is the deviant one. Failure to comply results in a week's misplacement. Phones are allowed but must never be seen - or the school confiscates them.
It's the school who make the rules - parents should respect them. Just don't get me started on sunscreen application 👿
My son is only 5. Him this morning:
"can I take my rucksack today"
interpretation:
"I want to sneak some toy cars into school"
If my son was told not to take his ds to school, i can 100% guarantee he wouldn't take it.Reason being im his dad, and he does what his dad says, no questions no debates.
Personally I reckon Merchant-Banker's son is just better at not being detected than thegreatape's daughter.

But I am sure you know that it won't always be like that don't you? One day he WILL do something to directly and deliberately disobey your orders and will revel in it.
I remember trying to sneak a small toy car into school wrapped in an apron. Mum found it went nuclear.... I never did it again though. Lessons have to be learned one way or another.

Merchant Banker.......have you ever watched the Sound of Music? Do you strive to be like [b]Mr[/b] von Trapp?
SiB - [b]Captain[/b] please. Do you know how hard Christopher Plummer had to work for that title? 😉
Go on then. How'd it play out?
I waited until her mum was home as well then just asked her if she'd put it in her bag to take to school. And sadly she stood there and lied to us. Which I think she now regrets.
Nah... Being mean is hiding the complete bag and denying all knowledge of its existence

Why don't they know that when a question like that gets asked, we already know the answer?

I've seen enough reality cop shows to know that a lot of adults will do much the same nine times out of ten.
I think with kids they often just have their own version of reality in their heads and they tell you the words that make that reality true.
Maybe she thought - "Well it wasn't in my bag when I got to school so I can't have put it in there can I?"
With young kids of my own this is all quite amusing, however, we have yet to have heard the view of the girls mother who, without doubt will have contributed to the matter.......And will probably have the final say (from my own experierience) on the outcome!
