Son scares his jumpy mother repeatedly

A funny video has emerged of a man scaring his mother around their house to film her reactions.

The footage, shot in New York City, NY, USA, shows Matthew Marks creeping up to his mother and shouting to make her jump in various situations.

"As much as I love my mother the reactions to being scared are too funny not to share with the rest of the world," Marks wrote online.

"She is a good sport about it and laughs at the results. Hope you enjoy it!"
