He had the damn thing standing behind the snack bar in the kitchen when we brought the kids in from school...he got 7 of us in one shot there.
I think he kinda came up with the idea partially because of the shit-fit all the young moms are having with "The Elf On The Shelf" thing. The doll was in the garage with a bunch of toys that someone gave his 4 daughters. He was cleaning the garage and also ran across his Halloween mask which he likes to scare someone with every time it surfaces. I know that he is creeped out by dolls so he assumes everyone else should be too. You gotta have some fun when you're the only man in a house with 5 females, lol. P. S. - This morning I found my grandson's "Elf On The Shelf" in my refrigerator.
