stupid stories #2

My mother bought this new ceiling fan that cost almost 2000 ringgit. It was a normal ceiling fan that had a golden emblem of a goblin. It spun like a normal fan and behave liked one too. The only thing weird is that at midnight every day the fan would stop spinning (if it was on), and gave out a cheeky little chuckle. Every night my mother would just sit under the fan and hear that chuckle with a satisfied smile. It creeps me out. After two weeks of my mother’s weird behaviour. I decided to take action (in action, I mean telling my dad). He said my mum always do strange stuff when she turned the big 50, now she’s 54. My dad is always like that, lazy lazy lazy. I asked my mum what was up (get it? up! the fan! Never mind). She said it was nothing. I wasn’t convinced that it was nothing so I did some research on the fan on the web on my computer in my room. The website www.strangefansmakingyourmotherstrange.com said that the fan my mother bought had the spirits of ancient goblins of The Isle of Man. The description said that the spirit will chuckle every time the clock turns exactly midnight. It also said that the goblins were extinct but strange encounters with the creature still happen. The editor of the web page said there is still some decadence of these goblins in forms of humans. He said these decadence will react strangely if they hear the chuckle of these goblins. That was enough to startle me. I searched the web on how identify the decadence. I found it on my first search and it said to pour vinegar on the suspect. If they scream they are goblin decadence and then they will take their true form. I tried it the day after and my mom screamed like she was in pain. I was shocked. But she didn’t turn into a goblin, instead she said “WTF”. She chased me all over the house screaming “that was the last bottle of vinegar and tomorrow we can’t make acar because of you”. A month later I cracked the mystery. It seems that my mother’s free time is at midnight so she would relax from the house work under our fan. She would stare at it because it was the only thing interesting and she would smile because she knows she can afford the most expensive fan amongst the other housewives in our neighbourhood. I asked her about the chuckle and she said she never heard of it.
