Why is it so funny when you make someone jump?

I am sure we have all done it... made someone jump, either accidentally, or deliberately, and then some time later thought back to it, and been unable to suppress a little giggle.... surely it is not just me?

I made Suz jump one time, and did it with such style, she just burst into tears on the spot... I was mortified, especially as she is not normally a tearful person, but even now all these years on , I am sniggering at the thought of it, as I write this...

Anyway, this morning, still half asleep, I went to my sock draw, to grab a pair, and as I opened the draw, and put my hand in, this little white head moved up from under the socks, and licked my hand... I nearly died...

Flyte my tiniest ferret had slipped up the back of the chest of draws, and made a nest in my sock draw, and this is the first time, I have actually caught her in it, or to be more technically correct, this is the first time, she has caught me, while she has been in it...

I am sure every time Flyte sees me now, she does a little snigger as she walks past...

What with them randomly attacking our feet when we get in or out of bed, and now Flyte hiding in the sock draw, I think I might revert back to my childhood fears of the bed monster lurking somewhere when I turn the light out.

I still feel the need to scare the xxit out of my wife occasionally, the best of it is I will hide when we are going to bed (not many places to hide in our lil house) she will look for me knowing what im upto yet she will still jump out of her skin when I pounce.

. And yes I still have a snigger when thinking back to it
