Getting rid of some old baby clothes and stuff, I found the baby monitor. I thought it would be cute to set it up and put one of my 4 yr old daughters stuffed bears in front of it, to hide the monitor.

I sat and waited for Maycee to get close to it and then started talking to her with my voice disguised.

She just froze up...completely. I could only see the back of her, not her face. I thouhgt she was just watching the bear, maybe smiling or something. After a few mins. and she still didnt move, I walked into the kitchen to see her.

OMG...she was standing there, frozen stiff. Her eyes were clinched shut as tight as she could. She was scared stiff...literally! Her face was white as a ghost. When she did open her eyes...the big ole crocodile tears were just flowing.

Took a while to convince her that it was me on the monitor. She still stares at the bear like she's still not convinced it was me....lost all trust in the bear..lol

I feel like an asshat and she is mad at me. I mean really mad at me. I sure didnt mean to scare her in a million years, but cant help but laugh a little inside. I'm hoping that she is not scarred for life!

Word to all you parents...DONT DO THIS!
 
Damn your mean-Amityvill horror mean.
 
Its alright, she'll pull thru it. I showed this thread to my wife she laughed, said that's something I'd do. She already sold our monitors though...I'm mad I didnt get to try this :bounce2:

Dont be mad...be glad. She might get over it...but it wont be tonight. No hugs and kisses before bedtime for me.:shaking:
 
Dylan - I don't have any kids so I don't know what you're feeling but I gotta tell ya, I laughed like a mad man when I read that. Oh man that had to be funny. I'm not a mean guy and I hope you're daughter is ok after she gets over it. Thanks for the laugh tonight. I needed it.

She'll forgive you. After all, you're her dad.
 
Yeah, i dont deny it at all...It was absolutely Hilarious. I had to put on the ''oh honey..i'm so sorry, daddy didnt mean to scare you'' face...all the while trying not to die laughing. She wasnt buying it, at all.

Should have seen her though...she was scared to move..eyes closed, hoping it didnt see her. I talked for like 3 or 4 mins., thinking she was having fun. She was stiff, from the first couple of words..lol
 
^^Yea right, she'll forgive you, right after you buy her a brand spankin' new Corvette! I gotta admit, this is something I'd do to my 5 yo. Not too sure how he'd react though.
 
HAHA Dylan!

this is gonna come back when you least expect. When she is in her 20s and some guy thinks he gonna be romantic on a date and bring a stuffed bear and chocolates to give for her...shes gonna FREAK out on him and he will have no clue what is going on.

haha....this might be good for two laughs!
 
Dylan....

This evening our son Jonas, who is 4.5, clearly had too much energu... so we went outside and ran around for awhile. Circles and circles and circles around the cars, him chasing me, me chasing him.
At one point he was chasing me and I got the whole car between us. Got an idea...
While he was on the other side, I quickly opened the door, jumped in the driver's seat and ducked down. I could ear him run by... "Daddy, where did you go? Daddy?"
Just as he got to the front of the car, I popped up... and just as he saw me, I tapped the horn.
Thinking, ha-ha-ha he'll think that's funny.

uh, nope. he was standing RIGHT in front of it. He froze solid, stared at me blankly...covered his ears... and the tears started. Aparently I startled the shit out of him. Took a good 10 mins to calm him down.

Woops.

:lol: I can picture that in my head.
Well good to know i'm not the only evil bastid on here.

Gotta love kids, even when they think we are evil. Hopefuly we'll be their heros again soon!
 
Dylan,
I did the same thing to my 6 y/o when she was 3.....the next day she said...with HUGE puppy dog eyes, "Daddy, I don't want Share bear any more, she scares me when I go to sleep." I felt like crap.
We both laugh about it now...she WILL forgive you. (In a few years)
 
Im sooo hanging some bears from tree limbs near your tent at the caravan with electrical tape making crosses on their eyes.
 
BTDT, you kinda feel bad when you cross that line and what you hope will turn into a funny acutally turns into a startling moment for the little one....but it is still funny, lol
 
A couple of years ago I used to something like this just a little more high tech. I would get on my computer upstairs of our old house and remote into the one downstairs. Then I would turn on the type and speak function on Windows XP and ask the kids questions. I could hear them going ape :poop: all the way up stairs. After awhile though the oldest one would start to ask questions back and I would answer them the other two still got scared. Of course we get a kick out of scaring each other all the time here. The kids do it to each other and us, we do it back to them and each other. Its good for a laugh especially when it's been a hard day because it's always hysterical. She will forgive you she just may not like bears anymore.

That's pretty funny.
Shame on you Dylan. She is a very smart little girl and I think that she will recover from the bear talking to her, you on the other hand will have to work pretty hard. I'll try and get up to the campsite with the horse to give her a "Im sorry your daddy was mean to you ride".
 
if Dylan would ever write a book about all the stupid things he does he could probably make a lot of money on it!
