If you’re on social media than you know Elf on the Shelf is hot right now. There posts for lazy Elf moms, over-achieving elf moms. There are pro-elf posts and anti-elf posts. The issue can be more divisive than politics.
Well, here at the Monnot house we’re a little young for the Elf. So we here at the Monnot house felt like we needed a little something for the younger set. Something easy for them to grasp. We put our heads together and devised the following alternatives.
1. Â The Snot on Mommy’s Shirt (Bonus points if she’s had it on less than an hour)
2. Â The former food stuff now regenerating under the car seat (You can name it Moldy!)
3. Â The leaking sippy cup in the hall (the unleakable kind, of course)
4. Â The toilet paper festively strewn about the house.
5. Â The jelly in the iPhone. (Mind if I put you on speaker?)
6. Â The fingerprints on the TV (no, it’s not an iPhone)
7. Â The Picasso in the Living room decorating your walls in permanent marker (bonus points if company is on the way over)
And last but not least:
8.  The I have no idea, but it’s brown and mushy and somebody get mommy a paper towel and some Lysol STAT. And a glass of wine.
Happy Holidays!
