My folks were technology skeptics and limited access to screens. We had strict allotments of time to access electronics.

This taught us how to game the rules and make up arguments to justify our discretions.

They were also lawyers, so we walked into the first trap.

    The video games in my house were downstairs, and one time I did a "Can I go downstairs?" instead of "Can I play video games?" when I knew they didn't want me playing more games. Thought it was a clever loophole. Only worked the one time, but got jokingly referenced for the next ten years.
