Thank goodness for creative and BRILLIANT people, like the people who came up with “Elf on the Shelf”.  Scout’s elf (named Jingle) has been like his little conscience lately.  Amazingly enough, Scout has been more polite, nicer, and much more responsive to me when I ask him to do something.  I am wondering what can replace the elf on December 26th?  Or maybe Jingle will be watching him year round.  Overkill?  We’ll see how he acts once Jingle goes back to the North Pole.
