My mother would tell my brother and I she had eyes in the back of her head so we should behave cause she would see everything. To test her we would do things at the kitchen table to see if she would know what we were doing. She ALWAYS knew what we were doing. Little did I know that she was looking in the reflection of the oven (which was just above eyes level) and could see us. I beleived she had invisible eyes in the back of her head.
