My niece went thru a "Kiss" phase when she was about ten. Being the good aunt that I am, I saw a T-Shirt with Gene Simmons and the tongue hanging out as far as it would go. Of course I just had to get it for her, knowing she would love it, but my sister and her hubby would absolutely hate it. She was thrilled, I got looks that could kill from her parents. Of course, what are aunts for except to spoil their nieces and give them something they know their parents are going to hate? My parents then went out the next year and got her a full set of drums. To be kept at sis' home of course. Parents can exact revenge in such a good way. And I was always known for buying my friends kids gifts that their parents wouldn't. Such as playdoh one year, and then lego the next year. Kids loved me, parents weren't so thrilled. And these were inocuous gifts!!
