In a similar vein as below.
I was on my way upstairs to get a hand towel from the airing cupboard (or linen cupboard if you prefer) which was next to the bathroom. The bathroom door was open and the light was on and I was just about to reach in and turn off the light when I saw my son, who was maybe 11 at the time, in the bath, laid back, eyes shut enjoying his newly discovered game of "up periscope".

We'd had a joiner in the day before who had tightened the joints on our staircase as they used to creak like a bastard on every step but now they were silent, which is why he hadn't heard me coming upstairs.

I nipped back out of the bathroom. I couldn't just shut the bathroom door because he'd know he had been caught which would cause much awkwardness - though why he hadn't bothered shutting the door in the first place was a mystery to me.

I crept back down half a dozen stairs or so, and then made a big deal of climbing them again whilst calling out "Who's left the bathroom light on? It's like Blackpool in here" which is something my mum would say and it just sounded silly coming out of my mouth.

As I said that, there came a frantic splashing from within the bathroom. Either someone had thrown a small angry crocodile into the water with him, or as I suspect, he heard me and leapt from the bath to close the door, which did indeed slam shut as if an 11 year old child had thrown himself at the inside of it.

I never did let on, but Mrs Sandettie thought it was most amusing when I told her especially as I was quite embarrassed at what could have been an awkward moment.

super-parent :D
I don't think I would do that myself; if I caught me offspring tugging without a towrope so to speak I'd accidentally shout out loud "OH MY COCKING GOD WHAT'S GOING ON!?!?!?!??" while pointing at his cock.

You'd never catch him doing that again :)
