When my son was tiny I told hi...Winko is too cute. When my son was tiny I told him that there were "little people"/elfs living in our air vents and when we heard the vents rattle (when the air came on), it means they were playing. Sadly, I think I scarred him for life with that one...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33821110.post-58701891832224688432009-03-11T15:23:00.000-04:002009-03-11T15:23:00.000-04:00Winko.

Good save, though. <BR/><BR/>The funny thing is, this makes me look at my own childhood and wonder what sorts of trials I put my parents through when they messed up!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33821110.post-89709867464003449572008-12-02T22:41:00.000-05:002008-12-02T22:41:00.000-05:00We have an elf at our house as well... he eats app...We have an elf at our house as well... he eats apples and oreos and makes mischief at night. Oh he also writes back when written to. The things we do as parents to make magic for our wee ones... I love that my son loves this elf and believes so fervently.

She is really amazing. Pretty much rote it, packaged it, and marketed it herself, and I'd say she'd done a darn good job. It seems to be everywhere!Corey Schwartzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03883689227283545602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33821110.post-54371664337676133602008-12-02T13:11:00.000-05:002008-12-02T13:11:00.000-05:00That's hilarious!
