The week before Christmas I was told a story by my sister that she heard from a co-worker who claimed to have heard this story first hand from the very people who had experienced this very unfortunate (and abashedly funny) situation. Did any of that make sense? Basically it is a story about a foster child with some developmental problems.... and a hobbit. Not exactly the kind of story I generally find funny (I'm not one to push the politically or ethically correct boundaries) but the fact that it was suppose to be true made it so very tempting to repeat. But then this afternoon my sister was talking to her sister-in-law in Ontario and they discovered that they had both heard this story as a first-person account. They were surprised (and a little disappointed) to hear that it was a new and unknown (to us) urban myth.
So, my question to you is...
Have you heard the "Hobbit" story?
I haven't heard the hobbit sotry. But a couple of old people came into the Auction house on Sat and I'd swear they were hobbits. Really!

I have heard something like that. Once about a small person who was a Jehova's witness and once the small person was a census taker. Both coming to the door and being mistaken for a mythical person. Both times they were locked in a closet and the delayed person was throwing skittles at them keeping them "under the rainbow" while the delayed person was calling there mom to come help them.
ReplyDeleteI admit the first time I heard it, it was at work and the person telling the story really had me going...
Nope, but now I'm interested in hearing it!
ReplyDeleteno, never heard of this, are you gonna share???
ReplyDeleteHobbit - urban myth? do tell!
ReplyDeleteI haven't heard either...
ReplyDeleteMe either, that I am aware of....but you never know. Sometimes I think I don't know, then find out I do. LOL
ReplyDeleteI heard it twice, once from you and once from a friend who said she knew the cop that went to scene.
