Ok - true story!
My friend runs a diner/restaurant in a small rural town in Georgia (population 400). One of the waitresses has a 15-year old Downs Syndrome son who she occassionally leaves home alone while she works.
She gets a phone call from him, "Mom, there's a troll in the yard." After assuring him that there is no such thing as a troll and having a small debate about it, she hangs up and tries to go back to work. Worried now that he might be having some sort of breakdown, she tells her boss about the incident and gets permission to go home and check on him. She calls him back while she's driving home, and he says, "Don't worry, Mom, everything's okay. I trapped the troll."
Trapped the troll! Ok, now she's really worried. What the heck is going on? When she gets home, she checks the front yard and then runs around back to check there too. She sees nothing...So she goes inside.
She finds her son - excited - he points to the closet door (that has a chair wedged up under the doorknob) and says, "See Mom, I trapped the troll - it's in the closet!" Banging noises are coming out of the closet and she's afraid to open the door, but she must. As soon as the door is opened, out runs ..... a midget (little person) - cursing and screaming. It turns out he was a Census worker!
The boy opened the door, picked him up and threw him in the closet! "You see Mom, there are trolls!" ROFLMAO!!!
P.S. - No charges were filed against the boy or his mom. I told my friend she needs to get one of those little troll dolls and make it part of the restaurant decor!
