Lessons In Parenting Volume 467

Kids take everything as truth

I told Jackson the other day that I had seen a picture of an elf that was touched by a 2 year old in the family. The elf was in a miniature bed and covered with band aids. As you may or may not know, the elf on the shelf visitors cannot be touched, or they lose their magical abilities. The family said in their post that their elf had to spend 2 days in the North Pole Memorial Hospital, and that another elf had send a letter to the family telling them where their elf was. Jackson took it to heart, and during RA's on Wednesday night, Jeremy said that Jackson quietly waited his turn during prayer requests and when his name was called said, "We need to pray for an elf that was touched by a little girl. The elf is at the North Pole Hospital right now, and he could use some prayers."

Note to self....what is said at home, doesn't always stay at home!
