Recently, an ICU nurse and pet parent showed everyone a great hack to get a doggo distracted enough to clip his nails. And it was pure genius. But a clever 5-year-old has now taken the cake for successfully fooling his mother into thinking he’s studying.
According to Mirror UK, Melbourne-based Laura Mazza has three children. Due to coronavirus quarantine, the eldest son Luca is being homeschooled with online lessons. During one such class, she left him to study by himself and finish some work.

She was quoted saying,
“While working in my office (aka a small makeshift desk near the front door), I put FaceTime on, so if Luca had a question when unsupervised, he could ask.”
She added,
“He was pretty quiet, but I could hear the lesson going on, so I didn’t feel very worried. I wanted him to feel trusted. I picked up my phone to tell him that he could have a break and realized he was eerily still. With the same dork confused look on his face. I laughed and asked him if he was frozen, but of course, he didn’t reply.”
According to Mail Online, she went to his room and found him playing with his toys instead. That’s when she realized his trick.

“He had his sister’s iPad, propped up and situated perfectly in front of his iPad’s camera lenses. And what was on his sister’s iPad you ask? A picture of him sitting at the desk looking slightly amused. And not just one picture. Multiple pictures!!”
Upon being found out by his mom, the kid replied: “Yeah, but I didn’t just do one picture, I wanted to show you ALL my listening faces. You gotta admit I’m pretty clever.” We’ve sneakily read comic books by keeping them inside our textbooks when we were younger, but this is next level trickery indeed.
