Dad shares ingenious trick for keeping kids quiet during a match

This is genius.

They usually run rings around us, but every now and again a parent manages to get one over on their kids.

We live for these small victories, which is why we’re applauding this dad for his brilliant (and rather cost-effective) trick.

The pair must keep their heads to the wall, with whoever drops the money first forfeiting and losing out on a fiver.

Needless to say, everyone else who has ever been entrusted to look after kids loved the idea.
