I hacked my son. He was four at the time. My wife sent me off one Saturday purportedly for a "father/son" bonding expedition to buy her Christmas present.
Well, I had seen what my mother-in-law did to kids: set them on her lap and pumped them so dry they squeaked for a week. I figured daughter == mother...
So, little Jeremy and I went shopping. All the way to the store I told Jeremy to not tell Mom what we bought (the hook ;-). At the store, I picked up a CD/alarm clock for Mom's present. Of course, Jeremy couldn't read, so he really didn't know what it was. I asked him if he thought Mom would like a thingamajig, and he thought it was a fine idea (baiting the hook ;-).
All the way home, I emphasized to little Jeremy that he was not to tell Mom that we bought her a thingamajig (setting the hook ;-).
When we got home, I disappeared into another room, but stayed within earshot. Sure enough, Mom got little Jeremy on her lap and started pumping him. He resisted valiantly, but he was only four and cracked after a couple of minutes. "It was a thingamajig!" he said.
