I got a [then] 3~4yo relative who was a big fan of Minecraft, and he was always asking me to build him a house. So I did, in a new creative world. Rigged the whole thing with TNT. Once he stepped on the pressure plate, “tsssssssKABOOOM!”. I thought that he’d take it as a joke, but started crying, partially because his mum was nearby and she was laughing nonstop at it. (I promptly opened a copy of the world, before I rigged it with TNT. “See? It was a joke! Here’s the house, before exploding! No TNT this time, OK?”
The bomb house!

He’s a teen now and we still joke about this.
