This Is Why Putting Your Elf On The Shelf In The Oven Is Always A Bad Idea
The next morning, Chelsea left her three kids home with their dad and went out Christmas shopping. But their son Braelon’s call from the kitchen would turn a low-key day with dad at home into an semi-emergency. “Daddy! Who turned on the oven?!” he called, as the mom recounts of what was happening while she was out. That is when Matt realized he had accidentally cooked their elves.
How these parents averted true disaster with their three kids
The relieved parents told their kids about Jingle, Belle, and Magic that “the Elfspital got them in quickly, and they are expected to make a full recovery after several hours of reconstruction and rest.”
Chelsea shared images of before and after the Elf on the Shelf mishap on Facebook, along with the caption, “Parent lesson #48,573,728,485: don’t forget the elves were in the oven!!” Her post has since gone viral, with empathetic parents commenting they find the relatable elf drama completely hilarious. And hey, many probably also appreciate what the Hightowers went through so that now, they don’t have to!
