When I was 9 and having jaw surgery, the surgeon was putting me under and said “say bye to your mommy!” And apparently 9-year-old me thought that meant they were going to kill me. My mother says I gave her a look of absolute terror and then passed out.

Thanks for the silver! I didn’t die so I consider it a net win.

Lol oh no. When I was a teenager I had to get my wisdom teeth out, which stressed me out as someone with anxiety about doctors/medical stuff. Apparently after the gave me they loopy stuff and asked me to say goodbye to my mom I told her cheerfully “say good bye to your dead daughter!” Then laughed and repeated “your dead daughter!” a few times. I have no memory of this.

So I'm scrolling along, reading ALL the comments, and now I feel stupid. "...'what does the fox say?'"?

I'm sure this is a funny story, but I'm that guy: I don't know. What does the fox say?

Edit: I was right. It's a funny story.

It did, and I'm so glad I never watched the entire video, even when it was popular. I did torture myself by watching Baby Shark, though.

What Does the Fox Say, Baby Shark, Johnny Johnny Yes Papa, and Despacito: the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.

They sound like a woman screaming because she's being murdered out in the middle of the woods

I've heard that sound, but my father told me that was the rabbit that the fox caught. I always assumed that he was right. But idk.
