Wholesome Dad Secretly Replaces Kid's Flashlight Batteries For Bedtime Reading
Somehow I've lucked out and have an 8yo who thinks secretly reading under the covers past her bedtime is an act of rebellion, and it hasn't yet occurred to her that her flashlights never seem to run out of batteries.
Overview

The daughter has not yet realized the reason her flashlights never run out of batteries is that her father secretly replaces the batteries to let her keep enjoying her innocent 'rebellion'.
