My Mom used to come in every morning and wake us up by shaking the end of the bed. I sat up expecting to see her but she wasn't there. About ten seconds after the shaking started she came hopping into the room with her pants around her ankles because she was sitting on the toilet when it struck!

We still laugh about that to this day.
