Love or loathe or music, but you have to respect Britney Spears’ ability to see the funnier side of life.
The single mum-of-two shared a hilarious Instagram clip of her two sons scaring the bejeebers out of her as she wanders around her home wearing nothing but a towel.
In the video, below, which appears to have been filmed by her youngest son, Jayden, 10, her eldest Sean Preston, 11, sets up the prank as he tells us, “We’re about to scare the heck out of mum. We just stole her phone, and she’s gunna walk through. She’s walking.”
Right on cue, the Toxic singer appears in shot, screams at the top of her lungs before falling to the ground in shock.
Clearly shaken, Britney yells out “Sean Preston” as the boys are heard laughing in the background.
“My damn kids,” Britney later writes on the post that’s been viewed 623,000 times at the time of writing.
The Piece of Me hitmaker – who has both boys with her ex-husband Kevin Federline – recently admitted her oldest son thinks he is “much more clever” than she is and won’t let her help him with his homework.
“I sit and do drawings with Jayden – he’s really good at it and I’m horrible.
“I do his homework with him, too, which I love.
“Jayden lets me help him, which Sean Preston never will. He’s such a smarty-pants and thinks he’s so much more clever than me. I let him think that, but he is actually pretty cool.”
And the 34-year-old singer has had her musical horizons broadened by her oldest son too.
“We talk a lot about music. He’s introduced me to some great people like Calvin Harris and Skrillex. If you listen, kids can teach you so much.”
Britney’s sons have seen her perform at her Las Vegas residency, and though they think the show is “amazing”, she insists they’re not particularly impressed by her pop career.
“Of course my kids have seen the show. They think it’s amazing.
“They completely understand the person I am on stage is an act and it’s not Mum.
“When I’m home it’s like, ‘Hey, can we go to the park?’ I don’t think they think I’m in any way special. They just think that’s my job.”
