Vaughn is currently on this kick of "scaring" people. This generally involves jumping out of some undisclosed spot and screaming "Boo!" every 5 minutes or so. He then proceeds to interrogate his latest victim--"Did I scare ya?"
Now this is a tricky question. If I say, "No," which is generally the case--the heavy breathing and precipitant giggling are usually a dead give away, that and the fact that he's usually in plain sight--then I know he will be that much more determined to increase his efforts, which means this same scenario repeats itself over and over again every 3 minutes.
However, if I say, "Yes," he then becomes suspicious and questions my sincerity. (Evidently, he is not fully confident in his frightening abilities.) "Are you lying?" Suffice it to say, I now have the veracity of a crack whore when it comes to this subject--"Noooo. You really scared me." This at least carries with it the possibility that the next attempt will not be for another 5 minutes or so. Of course, often I am not convincing enough in my performance, at which point he screams, "You're lying!!!" and promptly starts searching for the site of his next attack.
