Wacky Wednesday



Holly (aka Spatula) made cookies!   

They were delicious, and Shortcake had a bit of a rough day (again, weird elf scheduling, long line, etc), so she ate cookies before she ate her salad.  Usually, she tries to wait until after lunch to eat baked deliciousness, but… Shortcake has weak moments.  She did eat her salad, so she still gets points for eating her vegetables.  And Santa brings in donuts every morning, so it’s almost a moot point.  Shortcake gets the donut with red and green sprinkles, no questions asked.  It’s the Strawboss donut.  Edgar keeps trying to take it, Shortcake fends him off with her Strawboss Ninja skills. 

This is Edgar, scheduling elves, looking innocent of donut thievery.

Speaking of Strawboss Ninja Skills, Shortcake’s skills look more like a slapstick routine.   The strawboss chair sits right next to a tower of water cups (Santa needs to stay hydrated, don’t you know), and Shortcake has a tendency to knock cups over.  At least once a day.  She asked Holly and Santa is all the strawbosses had this problem, they replied that only Shortcake did it with a slapstick flair.  Shortcake also has a tendency to knock toys off shelves when setting Santa’s water, to run into doorjambs at full speed, and trip over her own feet.  Really, it’s amazing she’s survived this long.
