I’m Gonna Hypnotize You
My mom loves telling me this story about the time I discovered hypnotism. When I was four, I found out about hypnotism. Apparently, I became fascinated by the idea of having mind control abilities.
One day, my mom says my grandpa loaded me into the car for one of our normal grocery store outings only for him to return “furious” an hour later. After he calmed down, he told my mom that I refused to stop staring him down in the rear-view mirror with a very serious look on my face.
He had asked me to stop on several occasions, but said I never really replied. I just kept staring menacingly. Then, he said I suddenly looked into his eyes and said, “Papa…I’m going to hippo-tize you…I’m going to put my toe…in your mouth.”
My mom said she thought it was funny at the time, but couldn’t laugh because my grandfather was seriously so enraged. I ended up having my grandfather for 16 more years after that and he was my best friend. Story credit: Reddit / _dwelf
