Got a tween with a smartphone or laptop? Change her screen-saver photo to something just a little, well, mortifying. How about that "first bath" picture? Or maybe an old-school photo of Mom and Dad sharing a kiss. Or you could take a screenshot of her phone's home screen, set the image as her background, and then move the apps around. She'll go crazy trying to find her apps.
