I freaked my son out yesterday... kinda like this kid.
There were no donkeys involved. I did the freaking out all by myself, and completely by accident.
Kind of.
We were at the local park taking his and his brother's go-kart out for a spin. While one would whiz around, the other would walk with me and we'd chat about life...hockey, gum, how stupid Justin Bieber is, hockey...

So while my youngest was taking a turn on the go-kart, my oldest got a sudden case of the hiccups. Which is when his clever mom decided to take the opportunity, mid-sentence, to do the old BOO! trick.
But instead of making his hiccups go away, it made his right foot slam down onto my left foot so hard that I saw stars.
It went like this:
HICCUP
BOO!
AH!
OW! WHAT'D YOU DO THAT FOR?
I DON'T KNOW. GUESS IT WAS MY INSTINCT WHEN YOU SCARED THE CRAP OUT OF ME.
He's a logical guy for 10 years old.
And the boo trick bites.
Next time I'll go with bitters and a lime.

(My son's reaction to my hiccup "remedy" reminded me of this classic video of the guy who pretends to electrocute himself, then gets a banana in the face, which I found by Googling "guy pretends to electrocute self, gets banana in face". You can Google anything. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=do7InNH9wx4)
