For the WordPress prompt of the day, the word is RELATE. And I thought, ‘how can I bring up a topic that many people, especially parents, can relate to?’ Then I’m like, ‘oh yeah, the f’ing Elf on the Shelf! Perfect!’
For those of you stopping by via the WordPress Word of the day prompt (and for the first time), let me tell you: I CANNOT stand the Elf on the Shelf. We are in the final stretch of having to hide the damn thing EVERY SINGLE NIGHT. I can’t stand when I hide it, it just looks at me with its creepy little eyes and its creepy little smile. I’m still waiting to wake up one morning, turn my head to the left and see it turn it’s head to the right, meeting my gaze.
Now don’t get me wrong, if you asked my sons, they would tell you I adore the elf but truth be told, that’s one of many little lies I tell them. So how does one cope? I create adult scenes. Enjoy!
Zipper, we’ve called you hear because we love you and want to see you get better. Put down the pills….
“There can only be one favorite stuffed animal in this house and you aren’t it!”
The Elf at Studio 54. It’s just sugar all! The dollar is real though.
I hate the elf on the shelf… Honestly, my kids were older when it caught on, so I skipped it entirely.. Who has time for that? Anyway, the Studio 54 elf on the shelf is the best!
And my husband sent me the best ELF on the Shelf yet! It includes scenes from Silence of the Lambs!
Haha! What a great post! Yes, me too, I hate Elf on the shelf! Thank goodness that my youngest child was old enough when this whole craziness started!
Thank you! I’m making an executive decision and deciding this is the last year. He’s very nibby so if anything, he’s probably known for years the felt-clad, creepy looking elf is moved by me. I think the proper burial would be to burn it in the fire pit. Thoughts?
