I've done 7, 8, 9, 14 and 15.
I've also:
-- said virtually every expletive there is in front of my children with the exception of the "c" word and that's just because it's the one word I won't say
-- let my children taste my rum coolers, prefaced by "doesn't this taste great? But don't drink it for real until you're of age."
-- sent them to school with a fever
-- accidentally woken them up for school at 7:30 and then remembered it's Saturday
-- forgotten a soccer tournament
-- accidentally locked them out of the house when they were playing outside
-- falsified their reading logs because we kept forgetting to fill them out and the teacher wanted them back right damned now
I'm sure there's more but my drink is empty ...
