Parents will do anything to make sure their kids have the best memories possible. Still, some people may accidentally cross lines while looking for these events. This piece has an amazing collection of stories about dads who used funny methods to give their kids adventures they will never forget and will remember with fondness in the future.

1. When I was about eight years old, I went to bed while my dad played a Nintendo game that we were both stuck on. He found a secret passageway all of a sudden. He put the game on hold and came up to wake me up.
I was so happy when he “snuck” me downstairs under a blanket. I got to stay up past midnight on a school night and hide under that blanket to find the secret passageway. I remember it so well even though it was a silly little thing that happened. Strongdar on Reddit

2. I had a small amount of ice cream one night after my 4-year-old daughter went to bed. She “caught” me when she came downstairs all of a sudden. She said she was going to bed, so I gave her a small bite and told her, “Don’t tell Mom.” She told me she wasn’t going to. She went back to bed while I sat down on the couch and then sneaked into the master bedroom to wake up my wife. She told her in a sweet voice that I had given her ice cream and that she was scared of “sugar bugs,” so could she please brush her teeth again? That was when my little daughter told on me for brushing her teeth, which she doesn’t like to do! optimaloutcome on Reddit.

3. When my sister was little, my dad called her over to have a quiet talk. “I found this on your desk,” he told her. Where did it come from?” and took out a cell phone bag full of coins. My sister stopped moving and looked scared. Then she whispered, “This is what I get for letting other kids copy my homework at school.”
Dad tried to keep a straight face as he told her to stop after a short pause. I don’t think anyone got in trouble that day, and Mom never found out either.

4. My dad and I, who were about 5 years old at the time, were on our way home from a car show when we saw police following us. We got pulled over because my dad was having a hard time quickly buckling up. He was hoping he wouldn’t get a ticket. I think this was the first time I had ever seen a police officer up close and even talked to one. It was like being hit by a car the whole time. One of the cops on either side of the car leaned in and asked my dad why he was pulling to the side. The police officer heard my dad say that I was teasing him. The police asked me straight on if this was true. I was scared to talk, so I just nodded. “Don’t do that again while your dad is driving, okay?” the police said with a smile. They didn’t say anything else before leaving, and my dad told me, “Don’t tell your mom.” Author: Ambrosius_Rapture • Reddit

5. My dad and I thought it would be fun to start a small fire on the wooden porch. It was mostly paper, and we made sure to throw the ashes away when we were done. After that, we went home and to bed. We came outside the next day to find a huge hole burned into the porch. The wind must have gotten stronger overnight. “Hey, don’t tell your mom,” my dad told me. “I’ll fix it.” After that, he put a small table over the hole. Mom found out anyway, and the house didn’t even catch on fire. Who is this person? Reddit

6. My dad used to work on wood projects in the shed when I was little. As he worked, I would go outside and talk to him. He would then let me sit on the parked car in the garage. He made it sound like something really scary and bad that we couldn’t tell my mom. I believed him because I was five years old and thought I was so cool, even though I wasn’t doing anything bad or dangerous. Minaowl on Reddit

7. I played Grand Theft Auto late at night when my son was six years old. He woke up and asked if he could watch me play. He came into the living room and told me he couldn’t sleep. He could tell his mom, but I told him not to. He agreed with a smile. His game went on for an hour while I watched and helped him. He kept laughing so hard that he hit people and ran away from the police. I warned him to be careful of the 5-0. He asked what that meant, so I told him it was slang for the police. He just shrugged and played on. It had been about a week, and now we were all driving in the car. I heard him scream, “Dad, be careful! It’s the 5-0!” His mother asked him where he learned that, and I laughed so hard. He only said “YouTube.” She later found out that I let him play GTA, but I hope that brings him as much joy as it does me. ArcticBearsAreGay on Reddit

8. I take my 4-year-old girl to breakfast while my wife is at work. Next, we have a little trip in a store she picks and act like anyone she wants. When we were last there, we went to a shop that sold auto parts and rolled tires around as if we were making them free from monsters. My wife doesn’t believe her yet when she tries to grass me up later. From ReaperWright88 on Reddit

9. I’ve always worked in restaurants and got home late. I would give myself takeout every Friday, but not just any takeaway. I would get steak nachos with guacamole and cheese fries topped with gyro meat. It’s always a big order with a big soda bottle. My girls used to sneak downstairs late at night when they were little and eat “bad food” while we watched funny bad movies with lots of swear words. From Astrochef12 on Reddit

10. When I was in middle school, my dad slowly bought computers and monitors for himself and the other three kids. The five of us would play World of Warcraft together for days on end, always turning off an hour before Mom got home. We’d rush through all the jobs in the last hour, showing how well we could work together. She didn’t know we all played because she believed it was bad. From theNameless97 on Reddit
