The babysitter

A few years ago, a mother  and father needed a break, so they headed out for a night on the town and called their most trusted babysitter. When the babysitter arrived, the two children were already fast asleep in bed. The babysitter just got to sit around and make sure everything was okay with the children.

Later that night, the babysitter called the parents and asked if she could make some food. "Of course", the parents said. The babysitter also had one final request...

She asked if she could cover up the clown statue in the corner of the bedroom with a blanket or cloth because it freaked her out.

The phone line was silent for a moment, and the father said, "take the children and get out of the house... we will call the police. We do not have a clown statue"
