Brendan found a way to ask his parents if he could throw a party without getting an answer he didn't want

It is perhaps a given that children these days know more about technology than their parents.


And this was perfectly demonstrated by a young man apparently who got his parents to agree to a party they never wanted in the first place.

The teenager, known only as Brendan, knew he wouldn't get the answer he wanted if he asked in the traditional sense.

So, he hacked his parents' phone and changed the autocorrect settings from "no" to "HELL YES".

He asked his parents in a group conversation, which was then posted onimgur: "Hey guys can I throw a party tmrw night. [sic]"

His mother tried to say no. However, her phone said "HELL YES".

She tried again. "Wait," she writes. "I typed HELL YES."

Brendan's father got involved to give a helping hand. He wrote: "Brendan, she's trying to say WHERE THE B*****S AT"

Stumped, his mother wrote "Jim, what is going on?" "I am saying HELL YES".

Brendan finished the conversation by thanking his kind parents, who had emphatically told him that he could throw a party.

It is unclear if Brendan threw his party, or got grounded, but his parents will probably keep a closer eye on their phones from now on.
