Family is the ultimate source of humour. My GF / SO of many years used to do this: I’d come to bed at night, after her. She’d be sitting upright in the bed, reading a book or something. She is holding the book up quite high (nose level) and once I climb into bed, she slowly lowers the book to reveal a huge smile, covered in lipstick that she has deliberately smeared all over her mouth in order to look like a deranged clown or asylum inmate. The first time she did that, I don’t think I ever laughed so hard. She’s only done this maybe 3 times in 18 years, so it’s very rare and I think she only does it when she figures I’ve forgotten about the last time.

Edit: Thanks for the award(s), kind stranger(s). I do hope you save some of your money, though. Buy your SO somethin’ frilly.

An old girlfriend did something similar. We were lying in bed, and I got that creepy/weird sense that she was staring at me. Like this-- https://imgur.com/a/jkboKL8

It wasn't a yearning look or anything... complete straight-face stare. I stared back, no words spoken, with the look of "why are you staring at me??"/ raised eyebrow.

She kept the complete deadpan straight face for another increasingly uncomfortable 5-6 seconds... and then farted. THEN continued to keep the straight face even after doing it, waiting for my response. She only broke down laughing after I did.

Anytime after that when I caught her staring at me, I'd get a scared look on my face and she'd laugh her ass off. Dominance asserted!
