Elf on the shelf What's supposed to happen Dicky: Every night the elf flies to the north pole and back. So when you wake up, he'll be in some wacky new place in the house! Baby: wow! What inevitably happens Baby: Hey! Why didn't he move last night ?! Dicky: Well, maybe the holidays are already exhausting and he overextended himself when he decided to do this..

The whole Elf on a Shelf thing seems incredibly creepy to me. We should not be normalising a panopticon for children.

Word of warning: don’t watch the “Elf on the Shelf” animated special. It’s bad…really, really bad.

I ran into the same issue when I spontaneously decided to create the Tooth Weasel for my kids….who’s kind of like the tooth fairy, except he also writes long, semi-coherent letters in a very distinctive font and occasionally plays pranks like “drooling” on their quarters or coloring their toenails with a sharpie.
In my defense, I didn’t contemplate just how difficult it would be to keep up with the teeth of five children. Writing apology letters from the perspective of an insane, magical weasel is both sad and entertaining.

Ah, season-inappropriate reruns. Then again, you wouldn’t think that from stores.

Once when I moved to another house (which is my current house), I found our Elf on the Shelf in a moving box. We have a new elf because we’re in a new house, but I never saw Elfie again after that. (Yes, his name was Elfie. I have a elf now named Hannah.)
