Remember when you used to scare your nieces and nephews, or even your own kids, so that they wouldn't leave your sight. You'd tell them, "Ah Meow nyob ntawd aw". Yeah, it was just all fun and games. Until they scare you back with it. How you ask? Here's how...
Just a couple weeks ago I was visiting family who lived out of town. The lived in a older home 4 bedroom home on a 33 acre land. But you know the house was a simple floor plan. Well, my cousin's wife had gone to work, so it was just him, his kids, and I. Him and I decided to go smoke, and since he didnt have a backyard or a front yard, it was just land everywhere, we went to where there was a small cherry tree. halfway into our smoke, his youngest son let's out a scream. He said it was nothing. That his boy always make noises. So we shrugged it off. but only a few seconds later the boy screamed again. So we run into the house. His oldest son comes over and says that the baby boy was acting crazy in the bedroom. We go inside, and the boy looks at us, then points to the top of the closet. You know older houses has a hatch that goes up to the attic. Not even the attic, since houses in Cali don't really have attics or basements anymore. it was just that space between the ceiling and the roof. Anyway he point to that hatch and says...
"Ah meow, daddy. Ah meow."
We look at each other like..WTF? Is this kid for real? But my cousin just tell his boy. Not to say that, or the Ah meow will come get him. But I knew he was scared, and I was a little spooked also. So we decided to get a flashlight and check it out. Brave right? Hell no!! But we rather know there is nothing, then wonder if there was anything. So we get the flashlight, open the hatch, and he looks up into that space. He sees nothing.
But when we talk now, he says his boy still says Ah meow and that he makes his hand into a claw but with a broken wrist when the boy says it. I asked my cousin, what is a Ah meow anyway? LOL.
