My mother had taken several of us to the roller rink for the afternoon skate, and her wig fell to the floor and rolled away when someone got too close to her and knocked her down. She was embarrassed, but I thought she had just lost her head!
Another time, she called and said some kind of animal was in the flue above her fireplace. I stuck a mirror up into the area to have a look, and seeing the biggest owl I had ever seen almost gave me a heart attack ... but then I realized I had just used the magnifying side of my mother's makeup mirror.
