My son had a fire truck that he got one year for Christmas. He loved the thing, but it freaked me out something awful.

The house is nice and quiet, then all of a sudden a man's voice somewhere in the distance says "Hurry, Call 911!". Holy crap! Scared me every time.

He also had a Bob the Builder doll that would randomly, and at all hours, yell out... "This is going to be loud!"

grrrr....

I understand Will, I have been there. All these years later and my nerves still haven't recovered.
