Before you find yourself in the middle of your squeaky staircase with your mom's Pomeranian nipping at your heels, you need to think of the obstacles between you and a night of freedom. Where are your house's loud spots? What are your parents habits? Is there any chance your dad will hop up for a midnight bowl of ice cream and Leno at the exact moment you're trying to sneak out? Before you sneak out, consider:  Your parents' bedtime and sleep habits Your travel plan What to blend in with, and how to blend in Where you'll meet up with your friends Your route out of the house Your route out of the neighborhood Animals Back-up plans and excuses Giving some thought to your clothes ahead of time can save you some grief later. Say your parents wake up and you come in wearing your party clothes. Oops. It'll be hard to pawn off a "Oh, I just went for a walk" excuse. Anticipate the worst case scenario and prepare for it.  Wear bedclothes over your regular clothes. Make sure your parents see that you're dressed for sleeping. Take off your bedclothes when you get outside. Stash them somewhere close-by, or in your car, or stuff them somewhere your parents won't look, like the mailbox. Before you sneak back in, change your clothes. If your parents happen to be up, or awaken when you enter, you'll be able to use a quick-excuse more easily if it looks like you've been sleeping recently. If you are just sneaking out to hang with friends, and have no specific clothing to wear, consider where you will be, and how to blend in. Although many people think black is a good color, it is not. Black - As mentioned above, this is not a wise choice for camouflage, as most shadows are not black.  Dark blues or purples - A better choice for blending in. Most shadows tend to be darker shades of blue and/or purple. Green - A good option for blending in with trees, bushes, and weeds. Sand/khaki - Better for staying hidden in sandy environments. Grey - A good choice of camouflage for rocky terrains. Brown - Better for woody areas. Not necessarily for hiding in trees, but for areas where the trees have barely any leaves on the lowers parts of the trunk. Presumably you're sneaking out to meet up with friends, head to a party, or hang with your sweetheart. Make sure your plans are the same and you're not going to sneak out and find yourself alone. Keep up via text or IM and plan a convenient meeting place for everyone.  Make sure that the location you pick isn't somewhere you're going to get caught. If a snoopy neighbor sees a bunch of pre-teens congregating in the Pizza Hut parking lot and recognizes your friend, you might be one step closer to getting caught. Think like a ninja. Aim for dark areas, or try to get picked up in a car far a couple blocks away from where you live. Stay out of sight and you won't get caught. If you have a dog or excitable cats, or even birds that get to chirping when you're around, how are you going to negotiate them? Dogs in particular are a problem because they have super-ears and noses. It's very difficult to get past a dog, even one who's sound asleep. Consider coming up with a good excuse for the dog to sleep in your parents room, or another distant wing of the house where you won't be sneaking through: "Buster keeps crawling up on my bed and bothering me in the night. Do you care if I close him in your room tonight? I don't like closing my door, because it creeps me out." In "Escape from Alcatraz," Clint Eastwood makes a great-looking fake head. While you probably don't need to take it that far, it's a good idea to stuff some clothes or blankets under your covers to make it look like you're right there, sawing logs. You'll be better off if your mom decides to check up on you in the night.
