That elf on the shelf that we have - he/she's a fraud. Nothing magical about it at all.
My kids have done the following to each other since he/she's arrival:
hit
pinched
taunted
teased
cried
whined
tortured
screamed
shouted
swore (new phrase from my daughter while doing homework last night was "Suck it". You heard me. Suck it. I think she saw the horror in my eyes and said, "Is that bad?")
whacked
pushed
elbowed
kicked
fought
and all around ignored my threats that Starlight is watching and will tell Santa everything.
So if you are thinking of spending the cash, don't bother. And for those who watched Modern Family last night - can you really follow through on canceling Christmas, cuz I'm just about there?

I think Starlight needs to show up holding a butter knife. Just sayin'. That may whip them into shape.
Well, no you can't cancel it... ok you could but you might regret it...
And though its not funny, I did chuckle about the "suck it" comment...
I did actually know someone who got Coal in their stockings... no gifts, just coal... fake coal too!
Good luck, we don't have an elf but I know it wouldn't be helping my situation anyway. My girls are just girls... nothing I can do to stop the bickering... at least I don't think so...
