Think I was about 8 at a guess, didn't want to go on another family outing, so I told the parents I was tired, stuffed a pair of jeans and a long sleeve shirt with other clothes, arranged them under a blanket in the back of the car. And darned if it didn't work, and they drove off thinking I was sleeping back there. Not so funny when they showed up again 20 minutes later, mad as all get out to get the real me.

But really, if you've got 4 kids to deal with, I can understand losing track occasionally.
