Over the long Memorial Day weekend I was determined to go visit my boyfriend who lives four hours away. I begged and pleaded with my parents to let me make the trip but, since finals were the following week, they wouldn't hear of it.
Not one to let a little parental interference stand in my way, I concocted a plan: I told my parents I was going with my friend to her dad's place for the weekend so we could study together. They said that was okay so I called my friend, got her dad's number, altered it by one digit and gave it to my parents. Then I called my boyfriend, told him about the plan I had come up with and then he told his mom that my parents didn't want me to take the bus there so she drove the four hours here to pick me up AND the four hours back. All the while she thought I was allowed to be visiting (which I kinda felt bad about). Other then being paranoid the whole weekend I had a blast. I still can't believe I got away with it.
