Spang!
The scene: A suburban shopping centre, full of people shopping, all milling about with their bags. In the mix is a family, a mother and two boys, one about 8 and the other about 5. The younger one is being a veritable demon spawn, running about, making noise, being a general little shit. The mother, exasperated, and still with things to do, tells the older child that he has to look after his younger brother while she finishes off her shopping.

Cue a few more minutes of the young boy being a right terror.

Light goes on over older boy's head. He leans over, and says to the younger one: "You know, those automatic doors always open, no matter how fast you run at them"

Young boy, then knows he has to test this out. Runs full pelt at automatic doors, which stay firmly shut. Heavy laminated glass in Automatic doors makes a very distinctive noise when hit, and doubly so when hit with a young boy.

I'm pretty sure he left a face print on the door, with a permanently surprised yet determined expression on it. I think I developed a hernia laughing at that one. Kudos to the older brother.

I'm remembering this one
and trying it out at the soonest available opportunity.
