Santa's Elbows

Two great stories in one:

Since time out, no toys, no treats, no Dora, or Mom is going to give your toys to some other little girl.... is not working out so well for us anymore, we have turned to Santa. (I really don't like Santa he takes all the credit but whatever.) We now remind Hailey that Santa's elves are watching to see if she is being good or bad and that they will let Santa know if she should get any presents for Christmas. This has worked pretty well until of course Christmas is over. Anyway, the other day Hailey was playing in her room while I was busy finishing some work in the living room. Of course it got quiet and that means trouble. She came out and poked her head around the corner and said, "Mom, ummm just so you know, Santa's elbows are not watching me right now, -k-." ( We have tried to tell her that the elves are like little people, Santa's helpers, but she tells us we are wrong and that no, it is his elbows that watch us.) Turns out Hailey had colored all over her body with markers. Then Hailey tells me, "Did you know Santa's elbows only watch me when I help clean up."

Hailey cracks me up! It is funny how kids misunderstand things!!
I have been a little hesitant to remind my kids about Santa's elves. They are still "seeing" witches and skeletons in their closets since halloween. I don't know if I want them to be afraid of elves too! Maybe I'll tell them Santa's elbows are watching!
