I just remembered this one..
When my brother was about 12 or 13, he got up and crept into my mom's bedroom. My stepdad worked nights and we'd just moved to a house out in the sticks, so she was probably already kinda edgy.. Anyway, he said "Mom...mom........MOM!" and, of course, she woke up in a start. He thrust his hands out, palms forward, and was like "Shhhhhhh..." She's obviously concerned at this point and whispers "
What is it?" In a calm, hushed voice, he says "Now, don't be alarmed....
but there are people on the roof."
Needless to say, MOM FREAKED OUT.
She's like "WHAT?!? WHERE?!? HOW DO YOU KNOW?!?"
He's trying to get her to be quiet and calm down, then says "I saw them through the skylights."
Um, yeah...we didn't have any skylights in that house. He was dead asleep. Scared the CRAP outta mom, though!
