Think you could pull off a plan like this? Take this quiz to find out if you'd be CAUGHT OR NOT.

You forgot your homework. When your teacher asks, you:

Rummage through your backpack and swear you’d put it in there

Admit you completely spaced and accept the zero

Swear you turned it in and you can’t believe the teacher *already* misplaced it

You accidentally back into a light post in your family car, you:

Ask “What car? I’ve never seen that vehicle in my life!”

Say you only hit the light post because you were swerving to avoid a family of ducks

Work up the nerve to tell your parents, even if it means a week without your cell phone because they’ll blame it on “distracted driving”

Your favorite drink order is:

Triple shot cappuccino

Milk tea with boba

Whatever your mom orders you

You’re asleep in the dorm study lounge (which you’ve secretly been living out of for a month). A security guard wakes you up and asks for your ID. You:

Pretend you’re still half-asleep, mumble some non-committal answers, and slink away

Turn on the water works and sob dramatically about a fake final, making it so awkward that the security guard just leaves you alone

Run

Your grandma painstakingly prepares what she thinks is your favorite dish. It’s definitely not. In fact, you find it borderline inedible. You:

Stay silent and shovel heaps of it onto your brother’s plate when no one’s looking

Admit that it’s not your favorite and offer to pay for pizza delivery instead

Smile and eat the whole thing anyway, claiming that you love how the whole peppercorns you accidentally bite into really give it a good zing

Your motto is:

A little white lie never hurt anyone.

Honesty is the best policy.

If at first you don’t succeed, just say you did.
