Yes, it's 10:15 PM and the boy is still awake. He comes out of his room.
Shannon: What are you doing?
Gavin: Throwing away my banana peel.
Me: Why was there a banana peel in your bedroom?
Shannon: Where was it?
Gavin: It was under my bed. Maybe a bird flew in there and put it there. (Sheepish grin)
Me: (Hiding a smile) Did you check under your bed for bugs?
Gavin: Actually (the new word he uses in every sentence this week) I did and there wasn't.
Me: (exchange glance and Shannon and hide another smile) Go to bed.
Based on the blog I read from a funny lady in KS about the ridiculousness of Elf on the Shelf scenes people are doing... when the hell am I supposed to even move the damn thing? My kid is up past my own bedtime and awake before I get out of bed. I guess Elf's gonna have a lazy night and not make it to the North Pole tonight.
