Everyone knows that all of the Elves on a Shelf tend to pretty naughty with their antics. Well, Jeannie Mai’s daughter, Monaco is having none of it. In an adorable video that Mai shared on social media, the three-year-old not only has some stern words for her elf, she also put her in “time out.”
The video captioned, “I don’t care what shelf ur from ur gonna learn tuhhhday,” shows Monaco having a conversation with her elf who is sitting next to the television.
Monaco, in an exasperated voice tells her elf, “You can’t do that! That’s not nice!”
To emphasize that she means business, the adorable three-year-old his her hands on the table and then tells her elf, “Time out!” before walking away with a deep sigh.
And as you would expect, the comment section of the video was just as funny as the video.
One social media user said, “That Elf done got on Coco Reserved Nerve! When That Baby hit that Table… things became real!!!”
Another commented, “That sigh… she was too through!”
One Instagram user commented that the display already shows that the toddler has a good head on her shoulders.
“I loveee this so much. So cute but on a deeper level shows she has such a good head in her shoulders like mama. This at such a young age is showing the responsibility of accountability and that is a blessing!!!”
The 45-year-old told People Magazine in an exclusive interview last month that she had a brilliant “twist” for Elf on the Shelf since it was her daughter’s first year with the mischievous Santa’s helper.
“This is the first year we’re busting on the Elf on the Shelf,” Mai told the outlet. “The Elf on the Shelf is known as the dude who causes mischief and does wacky things around your house and turns it upside down.”
“I want the Elf on the Shelf to be known to clean and actually take care of some chores. The Elf is going to be by the dishes washed. That Elf is going to be folding Mommy’s socks. I’m going to be like, ‘Oh my God. Look how Elf on the Shelf put Mommy’s socks together. Monaco, can you put Mommy’s socks together so we all can help the Elf?’”
We think that that is indeed a brilliant “twist” on Elf on the Shelf. Apparently, Monaco’s elf didn’t get the job done like they were supposed to and got put in “time out!”
