kids these days will never understand the thrill of hiding ur handheld game console under your pillow at night because you heard you parents walking up the stairs and you dont wanna get caught

@ellie for me it was . books and a flashlight. my parents would take my flashlights and punish me if they caught me reading books at night. fucked up

@eris @ellie i did the exact same thing lmao

@eris @ellie at one point i had like 50+ books hidden under my bed

@ellie mhmm

@ellie I don’t understand? Why?
If you have strict parents I guess this could still be a thing tho right?

@LARSNEVERDIES @eris @ellie wait me too (and then later the handmedown iphone my parents forgot i had)

@tcplx listen if i got caught playing animal crossing at 11pm on a school night id be cooked 😭

@ellie yeh i get that but why are u saying “kids these days will never understand that”?

@easrng @eris @LARSNEVERDIES i remember reading like lego books with my lamp on at night and nearly getting caught sooo many times at like age 8

@tcplx idk to my knowledge not as many ppl in gen alpha use handheld consoles anymore but like Iunno

@ellie ah ok i thought because parents were getting more lenient

@ellie I would imagine this is still a thing though? It’s just phones now I guess since the Deck/Switch is probably too big…
