Elf on a Shelf: Day 6

Driving home last night: “MOM! Look! There’s the place where me and Daddy went!” She’s pointing wildly out the window.

At Hooters.

“Hooters?! Okay… So did you like it?”

“Yes, I did. But they didn’t have milk.”

My child takes her milk very seriously.

She LOVES milk. Don’t give her water, juice or even a Capri Sun. She wants milk. All day long. Milk. She is the poster child for milk.

And we’re talking white milk.  Not strawberry milk, not chocolate milk, not even vanilla milk. “I want plain white milk, do they have plain white milk, Mama?” I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard that.

Knowing this, I must have had a momentary lapse of sanity because last night Chitz, her Elf on a Shelf, messed with her plain white milk.

She did NOT find this funny. In fact, when she saw it she started to cry. And now I knew I had crossed the line. Bad Mommy. Bad Chintz. Bad Mommy.

Thank goodness I had plan B of a Horizon Organic plain white milk held on reserve. It stopped the tears right away.

Then she came around and thought this Elf on a Shelf prank was funny. But even though Mommy explained that the milk tastes super good with green elf magic in it, she still wouldn’t have anything to do with it.

Unlike Daddy, who made some grits for breakfast with it. We call these “Grinch Grits.”

And Mommy, who made oatmeal with our green Elf milk. This is just disgusting. I ate it with my eyes closed.

Got Milk?

Don’t know the Elf on a Shelf story? Seems that Santa has a crew of “scout elves” that he sends to little girls and boys. Upon receipt, the elf must be named to receive his magic. Once named, he begins his Elf on a Shelf duties which means he’s watching all day and night to see if your kiddo has been good or bad. Then he uses his elf magic to fly back to the North Pole at night and report to Santa. The elf returns the same night and usually lands in a new place – which creates a game of hide and seek each morning for the children. SOME elves are mischievous and get into all types of antics during their free time at night. It’s always fun to see what the Elf on a Shelf has done the next morning.
