I recently told someone a story about a friend of a friend of a friend who ate some mushrooms and accidentally kidnapped a little boy because he thought he was an elf. Last night I talked to the friend from whom I heard the story, and I got it all wrong! It turns out that instead of a three-year-old, it was a ten-year-old. And he thought it was a troll, not an elf. Also, the boy had Downs syndrome. And I think I forgot the detail about him keeping the boy in his closet with a saucer of milk.
Now that we cleared that up, I’m going to try to remember which of my friends I told this story.
Goddamnit, I heard this story once too about a ‘friend of a friend’. Except they kept him in a bathtub. Although it was totally outrageous, I’d always kinda hoped it was true, but duh, of course it was not.
