When me and my sister used to take baths in the tub my mom would tell us that she had eyes in the back of her head, so that we wouldn't misbehave by splashing water when she had her back turned. It scared the crap outta me, I thought for the longest time my mom was an alien! I'd search long and hard for those eyes when she turned around but never managed to find them, but i figured out that they must be hidden.
