Fake door close

When your mom told you to go to sleep hours ago, but you decided you would stay up and play video games and you hear her coming down the hall, so you put everything down and act asleep. You wait until you hear the door open and shut to start moving again. But, surprise, surprise, she shut the door, and stayed inside your room, and caught you red handed.

This also applies to singing songs.
