A Light Scare

(I’ve just arrived back home from a three-week holiday. During this holiday my mother apparently decided to clean some parts of my room, including the window. I normally keep the curtain on it down, but she pulled it up to have some light in the room; she likes natural light and I don’t.)

Mum: “As I was cleaning your window, all of a sudden I hear this mysterious ticking noise. I searched and searched and searched and finally discovered the source. It was the nodding cats. They scared me to bits!”

(I have some solar powered nodding lucky cats on my bookshelf. Normally they never nod as I don’t have natural light in my room, but because of the open curtains they started to nod. And they make a small clicking noise when they do.)
