Mum 'scammed' by son who tricked her into thinking he was doing homework

A busy mum was "scammed" by her five-year-old son after he fooled her into thinking he was doing his school work. Laura Mazza thought she was "nailing parenting" after coming up with a brilliant way to tackle the "mountain of work" she had to do, as well as keeping an eye on her son Luca as he did his homework in another room.

Trust a five-year-old... good one, Laura.) "But I did, so I’d quickly pick up my phone and have a peek and it looked like he was listening." After a little while, she picked up her phone to tell him he could have a break, but he stayed eerily still with the same expression on his face.
