A few years ago, a mother and father decided they needed a break. They wanted to head out for a night on the town, so they called their most trusted babysitter. When the babysitter arrived, the two children were already fast asleep in bed. So the babysitter had to just sit around and make sure everything was okay with them.
Later that night, the babysitter got bored and went to watch TV, but she couldn't watch it downstairs because they did not have cable there; the parents didn't want children watching too much garbage. She called them and asked if she could watch cable in the parents' room. Of course, the parents said it was OK, but the babysitter had one final request... she asked if she could cover up the angel statue outside the bedroom window with a blanket or cloth, because it made her nervous.
The phone line was silent for a moment. The father, who was talking to the babysitter at the time, said, "Take the children and get out of the house... we'll call the police. We don't own an angel statue."
The police found both of the children and the babysitter slumped in pools of their own blood within three minutes of the call. No statue was found.
