  1. Interesting, we had a code word when my child was small and didn’t want to do something another child had suggested, like a sleepover, we would have them say “I GUESS” I could stay overnight with them couldn’t I Mom? The “I GUESS” was my signal to be the Bad Mom and say no you can’t, then my child could go back to the other child and say I can’t, My Mom won’t let me, without hurting the other child’s feelings.

  3. In this current world of scams, (a person calling gramma or grampa for money because they are in jail, car wreck, cash stolen while on a trip, or any number of problems,) having prepped family members with passwords is a very good idea. Convincing a teen that this is necessary may strain your diplomatic skils.

  4. I have read stories where a wife’s purse and cell phone are stolen and the thief uses the cell phone to text the husband for the ATM card pin code. Rule #1 lock you phones. Two always have an agreement that if such info is needed it is done via phone call

  5. Reminds me of the clickers (crickets) they used during the D-day invasion. The only drawback is, you’d need to carry it with you at all times…
    Although I see there are several web sites that sell replicas.

    1. Not sure what happened with my last comment but you can buy dog training clickers at the national pet stores. They can even be put on a keychain. The store I looked at had them from $1.49 up to $4.99. Considering how big they are leaving one on your keychain seems like a win win.

  6. In the Army, we use challenge and passwords, but they aren’t used alone. You use them in sentences and in as natural language as you can, the duress signal as well. If someone is with you that isn’t pleasant company, you don’t want them to know you are exchanging a challenge and password or duress code. You might also have an unfriendly nearby unaware to you listening, don’t make it easy for them to overhear your challenge and password.

  7. Would use code words with my sons. “ I love you” was substituted with – guess what? I could say guess what? And they knew what I ment without buddies laughing.. to this day I hear guess what and know what they mean. I even hear it from their friends. I guess they shared the code.
