November 29, 2013 The E.O.T.S Experiment (Elf On the Shelf)

Posted by Vanessa Kelly

Hi! 

My name is Samuel Mistletoe and today I was adopted by the Kelly Family as a new addition for the Christmas season.  See this picture . . .that's me !  Nope not the green gnome with the grenade in his hand.  The little red guy holding his genitals!  (Hey they posed me that way not my fault!)

The Kelly parents adopted me with one mission in mind to report to Santa about their two children a girl who is 8 and boy who is 5.  For safety reasons I will only refer to them as Kelly Boy and Kelly Girl.  There are way too many creepers out there.  He he he.   

So why does this normal family need little ole' me to help out this holiday season??  Well the truth is Kelly Boy and Kelly Girl have been overly naughty this year.  Mainly Kelly Boy, they picked me out especially for him!  

So now that I am here it is my job to watch this family every day and report back to Santa what I observe.  Which I can tell you is not very good!    

Maybe you are wondering what I am or how I work well let me in on a little secret . . . I'm magic!  First of all I am adopted by a family.  I have no name, no purpose, basically I sit stagnant in a box until I am adopted.  This provides to be a overly boring and dull deal.  Have you ever sat still for half your life?  Trust me it is not easy.  

The family decides to take me home and there the parents read the children a story all about me.  The book was written by Carol V. Aerbersold and Chanda A. Bell.   It was illustrated by Coe Steinwart.  They have to read the whole book before they can decide my fate.   The book tells them that there is only one rule that if they touch me my magic might go.  One rule people it's simple and easy.  Hopefully they can follow it!  

The Kelly Family chose my name with great scrutiny. They threw a bunch of names into a hat and drew for a First and Middle name.   They had all sorts of names in that hat, Samuel, Buddy, Link, Mistletoe, Jingle . . .  but initially I became Samuel which eventually led to Samuel Mistletoe!

So now I am here and I am very pleased to meet you!  I know I will have a lot of fun messing(er I mean) watching this family over the next 27 days.  Yup 27 they get me two extra days just because of how bad Kelly Boy really is!  

Come back and check in with me and see where I end up!  

And thank you for participating in the E.O.T.S Experiment!
