I'm feeding my troll.....

[disneyaddicted]

I had to share this story.

A cousin of mine was telling me about a friend of hers who has an older (22) son who is mentally challenged. He lives with his mother but is able to stay home by himself while his mother is at work, she calls him through out the day to check on him.

she called him yesterday from work and he was out of breath, "I can't talk right now Mom, I'm feeding my troll." and he hung up on her. They don't have any pets, so she thought maybe he was playing a video game, but she called him back any way, and again he answered the phone out of breath, "Mom, I told you I'm busy feeding my troll, I can't talk now." she tried to question him about the troll but he hung up on her again. So she told her boss she had to run home and check on him because he just didn't sound like himself.

she gets home and walks into her kitchen, there are skittles all over the floor and her son is leaning up against the cuboard, right then she hears a banging coming from the cuboard, she thought maybe her son had trapped an animal in the house by luring it in with skittles. She opened the door and there was a little person there. He was out conducting a consesus door to door. He said when her son opened the door he grabbed him and pulled him in the house locking him in the cuboard, he would open the door every few minutes and toss him skittles.


The man did not press charges. He was scared at first but laughing when he left. I don't kno whow true this story is, wierder things have happened, but I thought it was a hoot when I heard it, thought I would share it here.

I've heard this before....it's one of those "friend of a friend" stories because a good friend of mine told it to me who said a family member heard it from his friend...and it was in his town. Regardless, it's pretty funny.

I'm not sure whether to or !!!!!

I can totally believe that. I just wonder if it really did happen somewhere at some time. I guess I got taken by an urban legend.

Somebody's been telling you stories.

"there's a troll in the closet and i'm feeding it skittles"..the greatest story ever.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Alright, most of you guys know that I work at a hospital in the operating room..and that sometimes we can have some downtime. So tonight we had a little time with nothing to do..one of the younger girls i work with gets this wild look on her face and says, "Oh **** you weren't here last night so you haven't heard the story yet". She tells one of the other women I work with to tell me this story, me and one other guy. I know its long, but stay with me its worth it. This story was told to me first hand, by the lady it happened to.
This lady I work with has a son who is autistic. Not like Rainman bad, but noticeable. So she has been taking him to these classes for around the last year so that he can stay by himself during the day while she is at work. Well this has been working for the last couple of months with no real problems. I've met the kid, he's around 22 or 23, functional but still you can tell something is wrong with him. So a couple of days ago at work he starts calling his mom and telling her that there is a troll in their closet and he is feeding it skittles. She just tells him thats nice and goes back to work..but he keeps calling and saying the same thing. So after a little over three hours of this he starts to tell her that the troll is getting mad and that she needs to come home. After a few more calls she tells our boss that she has to go home to get him but she will be right back. She calls her son and basically yells at him that he isn't going to stay by himself ever again..then she drives home and he meets her in the driveway with a hand full of skittles. The two of them walik into the front door and he throws the skittles against the door...his mom tells him to come over by the door and open it so she can show him that there is nothing there. So he opens the door and lying on the floor in front of her..........is a midget census worker with his hands and feet bound and his mouth taped!!!!!.....She said she stood there for a second without doing anything..her son ran off upstairs, and she started to untie the midget. She got his feet undone and he ran past her out of the door. She went to get her son and he was very upset, he told her that he tried to feed him skittles because he wasnt allowed to cook anything. So the lady i work with called the police and told them what happened and they tracked down the census worker and pleaded with him not to press charges which he luckily has decided not to do. I laughed so hard i though i was going to pass out when she told me this..i would have given anything to have been in the room when she opened that door.

Best story I have heard in a while! LOL

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So one of my co-workers told me this today... basically goes like this:

My co-worker was at an Easter party this last weekend at one of her mother's friends houses. Her mother's friend has an adult son with Down's Syndrome who, for the most part is high functioning, but still lives at home. He can do most things on his own, but still kinda needs somebody to watch him during the day. For the sake of the story, we will call him "Will".

A couple weeks ago Will's mom really needed to go out and run some errands (grocery store, movie rental, etc.) Not having anybody to watch Will while she was out she set him up with some snacks in from of the TV and took off. She's gone for maybe maybe two and a half hours or so.

This is where the story gets good.

Upon her return, she asks Will what he did while she was gone. He shrugs and says "I was feeding the troll in my closet." With a smile, Mom says: "That's nice" and goes about her business putting the groceries away. She apparently didn't think anything of it, as Will has a tendency to make things up.

A half hour goes by and Will yells from his room, "Mom, come and see the troll! I'm feeding him Skittles!" Mom yells back, "That's nice Will, I'm busy right now."

An hour or so goes by before Will's mom finally goes to check on him. Upon entering his room she sees Skittles spilled all over the floor, and Will is pointing at the closet door with a HUGE grin on his face. A faint whimper is coming from behind the door, just slightly audible. Mom struggles with the lock on the door for a moment before it finally opens.

To her surprise, a MIDGET runs out out of the closet, out of the room, and bolts straight for the front door!

Turns out while mom was gone, a Jehovah's Witness (the midget) came the the door and was greeted by Will. He was so excited to see a "troll", that he picked him up (obviously against his will) and threw him in the closet!

They are not sure as of yet if any charges will be pressed

Okay, I am totally dying becaue I heard this story told as gospel truth from my SIL at lunch TODAY!!! ROTFL!!!

In her version it was a friend of her mother's who knew the mother of the mentally disabled boy, and he texted her that he'd caught a leprechaun! She thought that was quite odd so she left work to check on him. She went home and found a little person locked in his closet. In my SIL's version, he was a Jehovah's Witness!

She honestly thought this really happened, and since her mom told her, I guess her mom did too. Urban legend are hilarous! I was wondering why on Earth the poor man wouldn't have been terrified and pressed charges. Now I know. LOL.

Thanks for sharing no matter where the origins, it made me have the first good laugh in months, I needed that.

This is so crazy, why Haven't I heard this before? LMAO! I just told my DH that this is a common story, (it was his cousin who told it to us) I thought we had heard them all. Oh well, it's still a cute story.

This was the version I have heard. My friend told it to me, who said it was his neighbor's cousin in Indiana.

My MIL also told me a varying version of it. It was then we realized it was an urban legend.

 

[Robinrs]

I'm glad it wasn't true! I'm 4feet ten and I'd hate anyone throwing me into a cabinet and feeding ME skittles!!

 

[emer95]

I JUST heard this story on Friday from a girl at work, and it was a friend of her daughters' friend. I totally believed it. The Skittles were omitted and it was a Jehovah Witness. I repeated the story to my family last night (believing it to be true) and we were all roaring! Now I'm going to have to tell them it's an urban legend!

How about if it were chocolate?

 

[Jennasis]

A good friend of mine said it was her sister's neighbor and also offered it as gospel.

 

[ferrytale]

Lol...my friend's dad told us this story last week - swore it was his neighbor that it happened too...guess not! Too funny though.

 

[sharlon]

Cleaning lady told it to me on Friday and said it was her husband's boss and her son. I would have bet money she was telling the truth. I even retold it to my mother who was in stitches. Oh well!

 

[xoprincessmomxo]

That's hilarious! I'm going to have to tell my DH that one! Probably got changed to census worker as that is so relevant right now.

 

[Robinrs]

How about if it were chocolate?

Then it would be OKAY!
