Parents say a lot of things they don’t mean in the heat of the moment…

We all do!

And most kids never take them up on their most ridiculous demands…until now!

This Reddit user decided to teach his dad a lesson and boy, was it a good one!

Take a look at what happened.

“Go walk home to cool off!”… “OK will do”

“I was about 12 and I was on vacation with my father, stepmother, my brother and sister, and my 2 step-sisters.

We rented a pretty big house which we had all to ourselves, it was pretty great.

One day, we went to a theme park. My stepmom and step-sisters decided to stay home.

While we were at the theme park, me and my (younger) brother got in a fight and in the struggle my brother got a bloody nose.

Uh oh…

My father was furious. He split us up and ordered me to “go walk back, you can’t see the fireworks show later!”.

I tried to change his mind, but I quickly decided to do exactly what he said.

To this day, I’m not sure whether he actually wanted me to walk back or that he just said it out of anger.

We had gone to the theme park by car, so walking back was a pretty dangerous task. I was in an unfamiliar country, at night.

Since we had gone by car, the only way I knew to walk was a motorway. There wasn’t a sidewalk, so walked in the outside of the barrier.

Made it…finally…

It was a small miracle, but I managed to find the vacation home in basically one try, without walking the wrong way.

When I stood outside the home, I could see the light from the TV. My stepmother and step-sisters were watching TV.

For a moment, I thought about going inside and join them, but then I got an idea.

I took one of the garden chairs and waited.

After a few hours, I heard a car approach. I quickly hid in the tall grass, with a perfect view of the driveway.

Showed him!

It was quite late now, I’d guess about 23:00. I saw my father, brother and sister get out and walk inside.

Not 1 minute later, my father stormed out, got in the car and drove away. My plan was a success.

I got up out of the grass and walked inside.

At them time, I wanted to teach my father a lessen, but thinking back, I can’t imagine how scared he must have felt once he realized I wasn’t home.

He got back after about an hour and was very relieved I was back, but didn’t like my plan as much as I did.”
