Jake decided to preheat the oven for leftover pizza this afternoon and somehow managed to scare himself with his own reflection in the oven door. I’m talking full-on startled jump backward, followed by this genuinely confused stare-down with what he thought was another person crouched in our kitchen.

I watched this entire scene unfold from the doorway and couldn’t stop laughing long enough to warn him. The best part was when he finally realized what happened – that slow head shake of embarrassment mixed with ‘I can’t believe I just did that.’

The moment of realization hits.

He claims the afternoon light hit the oven glass ‘just right’ to make it look like someone else was in there. I’m not buying it, but I’m definitely saving these photos for future roommate ammunition. Sometimes the simplest things make the best Tuesday entertainment.
