A friend sent me an idea to put peppermints in the toilet and have the elf sit on the seat. Yes, I know this has a high grossness factor but hey, our elves are bad and my kids enjoy potty humor as much as any kids. I used this idea last night and went to bed convinced it would be the funniest one so far.
No. The peppermints melted and turned the water red. So now instead of it looking like they pooped peppermints, it looks like they peed something red. Epic, epic fail. My daughter asked "What I am supposed to say when people ask me what my elves did last night?"

That is quite funny.
Could have been worse, my friend had her elf zip line on a candy cane across the kitchen. He fell off and into the Frypan where she was cooking and he now has no feet! Her children are traumatized and her daughter will never eat eggs again. Me, I still,can't stop laughing! She isn't normally like that with the elf, she was trying to one up her husband's creativity.

That's hilarious.
My DD (5) asked that the elf go back to Santa and stay there. That was fine by me!!

Too funny. The elf has one hell of a UTI, eh?  I'm traumatizing my daughter by forgetting to move Louise the elf every night. I forgot again last night, and tried to convince her that Louise was just a creature of habit and liked to hang out in the same place for a few days. My daughter was unconvinced. She said Louise is the most boring elf ever. |

Count me in the camp of those who think the elf is more trouble than he is worth. Last year our cats (who love to play with the kids' stuffed animals) must have absconded with the elf. I spent hours turning the house upside down looking for him. If he wasn't found, my daughter would have lost her shit in the morning. Finally found the elf behind the door in the master closet - huh?? I now ensure I don't do anything with him in reach of the cats, but that cuts down considerably on our options.

We don't do an elf at our house, I also think they're super creepy and I'm super lazy. My sister had one for her kids but last year my nephew kept hiding it because he is super naughty and didn't want the elf to see.
When DS turned 4, I made every kid in his preschool class actually poop red from the frosting on his Spiderman birthday cupcakes that I sent in. Whoops!

Same thing happened to me once. Antibiotics ought to do the trick.

There was a similar experience at my brother's house. Their peppermint melted. My niece, who is 7, and quite familiar with colon cancer because of her papaw said... "I think Pax needs his colon checked. We cracked up.

Honey remember how the elf peed red? She went to the elf dr and is going to be fine, but needs to rest for a few days. Here on the shelf, in this box. With the lid on. She'll be fine but mommy, er elf, needs a little rest.

One of my facebook friends had his elf paint his child's face with red marker. Another night the elf cut her hair and they put a weave and scissors next to her.

Perfect setup for tomorrow..... He's going to pay Doc McStuffins a visit! Or make him a sick bed to nap in!
My kids behaved so well the day that the elf had their naughty and nice lists.... I love that elf!

My daughters would love that trick with the elf. They are a little old for the elf now (11, 15 and 17), and we never got one. But they would love this kind of elf stunt.
Potty humor elf stunts are the best (yes, I am still a 12 yr. old girl at heart!).

you've got to stick the peppermints to the bowl ABOVE the waterline, people.  we don't have one, but that's something I did notice in the pics showing up on facebook. also, chocolate chips make good little turds. |

Yes, elf needs to be sick, resting with some tissues, medicine. Then next night feeling better. |

I think your poor elf had a bout of kidney stones. I feel its pain.

I'm not a fan of the creepy little elf. I do have a kid that would have thought it was the best thing ever if they had of been around back then...so I am glad they weren't.  |

My best friend left her Elf next to a light bulb. He burned to death. And I mean, his entire plastic face was gone when the kids woke up. It was absolutely hysterical; but her kids were beyond traumatized and didn't even go to school that day! Can you imagine that absence call? "Yes, our poor elf on the shelf passed away last night.." She took him to the "hospital" and was feeling much better in a day or so. Coincidentally timed with a visit to Target she made that afternoon...  |

I have a very similar elf from my childhood only it wore green, same face though. The book may be new but they copied the elf from some old ones. It never did anything but sit there, thankfully or I'm sure my parents would have thrown it in the wood stove. Mine looks just like this seniormusingsmoments.blogspot.com/2011/12/original-magical-elf-on-shelf-1950s.html?m=1 |

But it never moved around either...no anthropomorphizing the elf for us either. |
