What's a stupid plan you devised that actually worked??

Mine was stupid asf... Like I was 7, and I had an obsession with piano. So I asked my parents to buy me one, of course I knew I was gonna get rejected. But I was determined so I kinda acted bratty and cried in front of my mother. She beat me up and told me I needed to concentrate on studying.

Then I decided that my parents were useless so I gotta do something myself. I couldn't steal money because I'd be caught and kicked out of the house before I could say sorry. I decided to MAKE a piano (I know this sounds stupid but hear me out)

So I got a long piece of paper and drew piano keys on it, I labeled them in braille (like with a pen I pinched the letters outwards) . I would lay it on my dinning table, when my parents weren't home. And then I just practiced some songs like "happy birthday" and "twinkle twinkle little star" , by memorizing the notes and where a certain key was placed. It felt like I was actually learning something because one of my friends had a piano keyboard and I played happy birthday perfectly on it.

But ya my mother found out and got mad that I was wasting time instead of studying, she threw away my so called paper piano,
