there is you know....2am its what i did for years, and yes i agree with the hamster, HEADPHONES!
really, trying to prove something to your parents is like trying to prove to a door that it is a window, so because of this i typically just stand there and go "uh huh...yea...ok...uh huh...yea ok sounds cool....will do" in the end they (well most do) do it to protect you...i never got this (i'm 20 years old and still don't, purhaps when i have kids )
