BUT..my dad is gunna be home with me on his birthday during the day..so...i need to come up with an excuse of WHY i'm leaving..the only think i've thought of is i'm going to a friends house and she's coming to pick me up...or that were going out to eat or something..but i want to have a reason of WHY i'm going out, without him being suspicious..cause we really want this to be a big surprise..

My first instinct is to get your mom to tell your dad that you have a doctor's appointment. And your friend is picking you up and taking you to wherever your mom works, so that your mom can take you to the doctor on her lunch break. I guess it depends on where your mom works and if you think your dad would believe you. I think if you get your mom to convince him then it could work out. Of course, you would tell him that lie and then go with your friend to the store to get the iPhone. If he insists on taking you to the doctor, tell him that you're going to the gynecologist and that you'd rather have your mom take you.

You could also say that you have some kind of meeting for school, church, etc. Whenever I have to buy my parents stuff without them knowing, I just tell them that I'm at rehearsal or something. Then I can turn my phone off and be out of the house for a few hours with no problems.

Or... say that you need to help your friend paint her room. Or that you need to help her with (fill in the blank). You could tell him that you're building a house for Habitat for Humanity. There are tons of lies you can tell him, but I don't know your dad so I don't know what he will believe.

See if there's any way you could go on Thursday. Good luck!

Well, if you have summer reading you can say you have a question and want to meet up with a group of your friends to discuss it, or that you are going to the school to talk to the counselor..
