My youngest niece Claire just turned 12 in September, and to say she's a shit disturber is an understatement. She is always up to something, and she's so understated about her schemes, it really is amazing to observe.
Here is my interpretation of her latest.
My sister receives a random email from McGraw Hill, the company that publishes my nieces math text books. The email said, "Dear Mrs. Sister of AmeriCanadian. Thanks for your interest, but it is our policy to not sell/send out the teacher's editions of our text books to non-professionals. Best, Some Flunky at McGraw Hill."
My sister scrolls down to see that my niece had hacked her email and written McGraw Hill a note requesting the text book, impersonating my sister claiming to be "tutoring my daughter, and it would be really helpful to have the teacher's edition."
Now this is pretty genius on it's own, but the even more amazing/scarier part is that my niece had convinced my sister that the computer was broken so that she wouldn't check her email- there was even a staged dramatic scene that she enacted to convince my sister that it was busted. She just happened to give it a try.
On the other hand, the same kid had her older sister snap this picture of a drawing she made for me which apparently says get better soon Auntie Sheila. See below.
I love how your neice thought the email would be more credible coming from your sister (or at least her email account). See, she does look up to mom!

I want to form a partnership with your niece and take over the world.
