No elves? Really? Who knew?

OK, Neil Gaiman, if elves were going to come to my house, I would not want them to write — I’d want them to do the laundry! And the dishes. And the dusting. And while they were at it they could rearrange my closet. Maybe take over carpool for a day. Or six. I would let them participate in the creative process if they were so inclined by clearing my desk and organizing all the files on my computer.

And what would I be doing while they were doing some of the things I do every day?

Do you really have to ask?

I’d go shopping.

No, no really, I’d write. I swear. Pinky swear.

Unless said-elves came equipped with a gold card.

And no, you needn’t go all literary on me. I did get the real message of this video. Pinky swear.

    Laundry, yes! Yes! Dusting, cleaning, YES!

    PS: I love Neil Gaiman. :-)

    Oh, if only such elves existed! The novels we’d write :)

    I’ll take just one elf. He can live in and clean the two teenage boys’ bathroom!

    LOVE this clip! Thanks for posting it because NOW I’m inspired to write.

    But first I need to clean this messy house :-)
