Elves.  Elves have always been known mainly for two things in this world of ours: being incredibly short, and their famous Keebler Elf cookies (which I quite enjoy, especially the rainbow ones).  But, with that being said, I have a new fact to share with you about elves.  They are sneaky! Not just sneaky, but mischievous!  They are probably more mischievous than a pre-school class full of tempered two-year olds.

            It all started on a Saturday night.  I had been stuck at home during a storm, and had decided to flip through the television for some form of entertainment.  I just sat there on the couch in my pajamas and thick blue bathrobe.  I scanned through the channels slowly, looking for decent program, and became stuck on a re-run of “Who’s Company?” for some time.  From time to time, I’d feel tempted to turn the channel, and look down for the remote.  Surprisingly, the remote would be moved from its’ original spot.  Sometimes, on a completely different side of the table, and I would be shocked to see it moved.  I found myself talking out loud.

            “I didn’t put it there…”  I whispered quietly to myself.  I looked around on the floor, but nothing out of the ordinary was to be seen, except for the remote control with a mind of its’ own.   Maybe this was all in my mind, I thought.  It has to be.  That’s what I get for staying in for a Saturday night.

            I decided to turn the station.  The programming was becoming boring, and I wanted to see what else might be on.  I set the remote back down after flipping onto a music video station.  Music videos had always been enjoyable to watch, in my opinion.  Seeing artists make sense of their lyrics and sounds through acting and other ways.  A random hip-hop video played by a little known rapper.  I was singing along with the hook of the chorus, when suddenly the channel changed back to “Who’s Company?”
