is this one of those things where you look real close and then a scary pic pops up with a screaming sound?
 
Oh, please. These tricks are so old... Stare straight at a still image for a minute, yeah right. That might have fooled me a few years ago.

I got what you mean. You say since I'm supposed to tolerate worse and uglier than this pic(because they're real not pic), I shouldn't be scared! But well I think you have to see yourself in the mirror and you're not supposed to be scared of it.

I showed my mom one of these things a while back and it scared the living hell out of her. She gets really furious when I scare her, saying I'm ruining her heart. I don't dare play these kind of things on my dad, he would hasitate to punch me in the face if I did.

I was expecting that, but it still shook me.
 
  • #24
He would probably be more scared than my mom. He is definitely more easily suprised.
 
  • #25

I used to hide and suddenly jump in front of my mother. Once my mother was really scared and I didn't do it again with her. I did it once with my father, he was thinking deeply and didn't expect it at all! He was too scared but didn't want to admit! :smile: :smile: :smile:
