As an expectant father, I don't know what the heck I'm doing when it comes to parenting.
So when I first heard this suggestion for a Halloween trick for a parent to play on his or her kids, I thought it was a fun idea:
"Clear out a child's room and tell them they were robbed."
Coincidentally, I came across a similar prank on YouTube that made me rethink my enthusiasm:
YouTube: Brother on Christmas unwraps fake XBOX 360
