Beating a curfew is all in the preparation. So take a little time now to get things ready for the next time you find yourself on the wrong side of midnight...
To complete this How-To you will need:
Home
Worried parent
Curfew
Outdoor hiding place
Sleepwear
Doggy treats
Ability to think fast on your feet
Step 1: Practice
Practice! When no one is around, make dry runs from the front door to your room until you can do it as noiselessly as possible.
Step 2: Memorize path to room
Memorize everything on the path to your room, including creaky floorboards, squeaky doors, and noisy breakables.
Tip: Stick as close to the wall as possible. Over time, most floorboards warp and squeak, but the boards near the wall stay strong.
Step 3: Practice route blindfolded
Now practice your route blindfolded. Once you can master that, you're ready.
Tip: Don't bother with night vision or camouflage. This is curfew, not a secret war in Nicaragua.
Step 4: Stash nightwear
Stash a set of whatever you sleep in somewhere near your home -- AHEM -- so you can change into your nightwear before creeping inside.
Step 5: Prepare excuse
Prepare an excuse in the unfortunate event that you get caught. "I heard a noise outside and went to investigate" is always good.
Tip: Skip the perfume or cologne on the night in question. The scent may be enough to awaken a sensitive sleeper.
Step 6: Keep doggy treats on hand
Keep a few doggy treats on hand so you can quickly quiet any barking dogs.
Tip: If someone is driving you home, have them cut the engine and coast to a stop before your house. Turn off the radio at least a block away—two if you're playing hip-hop or heavy metal.
Step 7: Be careful with handle
Open the front door, step inside, and don't let go of the handle until you've gently closed the door all the way.
Tip: Take only the keys you'll need so the rest don't jingle and give you away.
Step 8: Get in bed & stay there
Get in bed immediately and stay there. Too much movement in your room is a dead giveaway.
