Many moons ago, when I was a wee lad I did something but didn't tell my Mum and Dad.
Due to the situation where we lived it wasn't too safe for my brother and I to play outside so we did what all boys should - we played football inside.
To reduce noise levels and make it easier for the keeper to dive we put duvets on the bedroom floor.
All was going well until I hit the football against the corner of ceiling and wall. A huge and I mean HUGE crack suddenly appeared along the wall and the ceiling bulged enormously.
Not telling Mum and Dad seemed to be the wisest course. About 30 mins later there was an almighty crash as the bedroom ceiling collapsed.
It was only years later that I confessed. The house had needed some repair anyway so Mum and Dad assumed this was another symptom of that....but no it was me. I didn't even hit the ball that hard.
Have you ever done something similar and kept quite until years later?
