If you’re familiar with the chilling film IT, you might find this story gives you the creeps. For those who haven’t seen the 1990 or 2017 adaptations, let’s set the stage: Georgie is a young boy who meets a tragic fate at the hands of a shape-shifting clown named Pennywise, who lures him into a sewer and ultimately claims his life. I was told there’s a lot more to the plot, but I couldn’t bear to keep my eyes open for the rest of the movie.
Now, picture the shock when your toddler casually strolls by the bathroom drain and cheerfully exclaims, “Hi Georgie!” This is exactly what happened to Twitter user @MommyTales, who shared her spine-chilling experience. “My three-year-old scared me half to death when she looked down the sink and said, ‘Hi Georgie.’” While the initial fright might have sent her heart racing, I’m sure it turned into a laugh once the adrenaline wore off. Honestly, I’d have bolted from the house like Forest Gump, leaving my kid behind and feeling zero remorse!
One commenter on Twitter jokingly suggested they would have burned the house down in response to such a frightful encounter. In reply, @MommyTales lightheartedly acknowledged their shared panic. It’s worth noting, though, that this little one is far too young to have seen the film, making the whole situation even more amusing and terrifying. The thought of Pennywise potentially lurking in her home is enough to keep anyone up at night.
@MommyTales even posted an adorable picture of her children, which is enough to melt the hearts of many. “These two are the joys of my life and the reason I’m up at 2 AM,” she humorously captioned the photo. As expected, the Twitter community rallied around her, sharing their own reactions and anecdotes about creepy encounters.
It seems Georgie is going to be sticking around for a while, but at least next time her daughter greets him, @MommyTales will be prepared. Let’s just hope that killer clowns remain confined to movies and our nightmares, where they truly belong.
