Here's the deal:
I am watching my cousin, age 10, through the weekend, while her parents are out of town.
Her birthday way last week, and as we knew in advance this trip was coming, my gift for her Big 10 is to take her on a hot air balloon ride on Sunday, and she is extremely excited about it.
Unfortunately, I just now looked at the rules and regulations, and I should have thought about something like this, but I see now that a waiver has to be filled out and,in case of a minor, the parent or legal guardian has to be present during the ride.
This is the only hot air ballooning place in the area, and I emailed them anonymously from a different email and they confirmed, yes, parent or COURT APPOINTED legal guardian must be there, in person, in the basket, per their company policy.
But this got me thinking: She's 10, I'm 29. The 19 year age difference is sufficient to believably be her parent.
So as it's not like me to break a promise to a child, what if I just fill out the form myself, listing her as my daughter?
Could that work? And is there any way I could get caught and any consequences?
Afterall, how do they know I'm not her dad?
