    10 Morally Questionable Lessons To Teach Your Kids

    It's not all learning to share and treating others the way you want to be treated. Sometimes parenting requires a gray stance on morality.

    1. The art of sneaking food into the movies.

    2. The proper way to Facebook-stalk a crush without them noticing.

    3. And the best angle to take a deceptively attractive selfie to catch said crush.

    4. It's OK to lie to protect someone's feelings.

    5. If the law really cared about illegal fireworks, there wouldn't be so many stores right across the state line.

    Sometimes rules are made to be broken.

    And sometimes, if enough people stand together against an unfair rule, it will be overturned. Take a stand!

    6. Wear thick-soled sneakers and surreptitiously stand on the balls of your feet at theme parks.

    7. Lying about your age is OK. Twelve is a good age to be.

    8. Speed limits are suggestions. No cop will pull you over for doing 5mph more.

    9. Just because the sign says the hotel pool closes at 10 p.m. doesn't mean you can't jump the gate.

    10. On a special occasions, with adult supervision, it's OK to try the champagne/wine/beer.
