Elf -Tastrophe

If you start a thing then there is bound to be consequences. Elves are now appearing on shelves everywhere after a book and toy business took off. There must also have been complaints about traumatised kids whose Elves had lost their powers after accidentily being touched. So now we have more books with more rules making it even more complicated for kids to have a Christmas.  As it turned out for today, Asher, Kaia and Estelle had two elves watching their every move. So we get back inside and one of the elves is on the floor.  Pandemonium has completely taken over as to what happened and how to recover. There was a lot of screaming about the recovery procedure.  First I was given tongs to pick up the elf but getting him back to the same position is almost impossible using tongs. There was more toppling over and jumping back out of the way in case there was a touching, when the Elf cartwheeled back down again. After a prolonged conference, three little girls with good intent, said the elf should be moved to a better sitting position.  So after 20 minutes of angst, he was now safe on the sideboard.  But then it started again as one elf was high up and the other low down, so I then delicately moved the higher one to match the same location.  OK now we all need a good lie down.

Oh No
