Soosee.... the Elf on a Shelf

"Babe, you HAVE to see this!"  my girlfriend said as she handed me her laptop at a recent playdate.

I just ordered it online!  Can't wait for it to come!  My kids will love it!"  I looked back at the screen.  This elf was hilarious!  The parents had him hang-gliding in one photo, flirting with Barbies in a corvette in another photo and having a marshmallow fight with a teddy bear in another photo.  On one hand, this looked like a lot of work for me.  But on the other hand, this looked incredibly fun.
