Better mommy bloggers than I, have written more than I care to write about the Elf on the Shelf. But I will share this conversation that my little logician Jack and I had the other day.
Jack: Something about Pinocchio, blah, blah, blah, right Mommy?
Me: I’m not sure, I don’t know too much about Pinocchio because he freaks me out.
Jack: Mom! Look at the Elf on the Shelf! Is he Pinocchio???!!! No! The Elf on the Shelf freaks you out! That means you are not freaked out by Pinocchio.”
So there you have it

The elf on the shelf freaks ME out.
my sister sent us the Elf on the Shelf. Just what I needed – one more thing to remember to do every day. He frequently forgets to go visit Santa over night, causing much consternation. I saw Target had a little skirt that turns the He into a She elf for $6.95. How do you explain that one in the morning?
Another visit to the Jackmosphere…. Where logic and imagination run amok….
