Go Super to Listen Go Super!

These days, when Brad Pitt sees a movie, he’s often in it. But when he was a kid, he was just like the rest of us. If he wanted to see an R-rated movie, or a movie that kids aren’t supposed to see without a parent, he had to sneak into it.

Brad doesn’t have to sneak into the movies anymore, but he does have to sneak into restaurants, shops, and just about everywhere else, or else photographers and his fans won’t leave him alone. In other words, he has to go places secretly, unless he wants his picture to end up in all the tabloids. He has to do his best not to be seen.

When you sneak into a place, you go there secretly. Often it is a place you aren’t supposed to enter. For example, Brad had to sneak into an R-rated movie as a kid because, in the US, kids aren’t allowed to see R-rated films without an adult. Also, people under 21 aren’t allowed to drink or go to bars. So if a 20-year-old wants to go to a bar, he has to try to sneak into it.

Have you ever sneaked into a place where you weren’t supposed to be?

Examples

1. Examples - Hear some example sentences.

Go Super to Listen Go Super!

“We’re too young to go to the concert, but we’re going to try to sneak into it anyway.”

“My best friend and I sneaked into a second movie after we’d seen the one we’d paid for.”

“Do you want to sneak into my sister’s closet with me and find some cool clothes to wear to the party?”

I liked it .
It reminds me of such another idiom that says “snake in the grass ” . I know it’s not that same exact meaning but it sounds similar a bit

I have sneaked into a lot of things in my life from going into the kitchen to have a cookie from my step-mother’s stash to getting out of the house when I was told to stay in my room as a punishment.
