My Mommy Puts Me in the Freezer

Jump to Comments

Hi, my name is Maddy Eckler  and when I’m a bad girl, my mommy puts me in the freezer. At first, when I was little, I could fit into the kitchen freezer, but when I got too big, she made me go out to the garage’s big one.

It’s cold in there, but mommy says it calms me down. I do get sleepy. Sometimes I chew on some cold venison sticks grandpa makes, but mostly I make up stories.

Last time, I sneaked Boots in with me so he could keep me warm, but he got cold and died on my lap. I cried really hard and then fell asleep and I guess the tears got hard and stuck to my cheek and mommy got really mad about having to scrape them off and put band-aids on the red spots.  She was so mad I went right back into the freezer. She wrapped Boots up, too, and stuck him under my head for a pillow. I was sad.

Daddy doesn’t like it when mommy makes me go, but he understands because mommy makes him do things when he’s bad too. I think she arrests him because I saw handcuffs in their bedroom once.

I really want a brother or sister. Then they could play with me in the freezer a while before we got too cold to speak. It’s dark there, and maybe we could tell each other ghost stories while we waited for mommy to unlock the lid.  I asked mommy and daddy about getting a sister or brother, but they got mad and put me back in the freezer.

It’s not all bad in there. Sometimes mommy lets me wear boots, because a few of my little toes turned black last year and had to be amputated. But I never wear mittens or a hat because being warm won’t teach me a lesson.

I stick my hands under my arms and curl up really small. I turn into Little Maddy and make up stories about how I’ll shrink and be able to climb out of the freezer and go back inside. If I had a cell phone, I’d call my Aunt Jill. She’s really nice and lets me put on a hat before I have to go in the freezer.

Oh, I hear mommy calling. I better go. She’ll keep me in the freezer all night if she finds out I was talking to this nice reporter woman. Bye!
