Standing tall Santa bellowed...Do you know why I summoned you here? Cowereing at his feet, Ty Ashy and Carolyn stammered out...we have an idea..shrugging their shoulders as they said it.
FORGIVENESS is not an option right now Santa muttered. While it's highly amusing, what are my identical brothers who help cover video conferences supposed to do now that their outfits are missing their buttons?
Oh no Ashy wailed. We just wanted to break the monotony up a little bit. Peeking up at Santa she saw him grinning broadly and did a double take. Aren't you mad? She whispered. No dear elfling he chuckled , in fact, I made a quick trip to Maryland myself and added a 25th geocache. One that will keep parents and young ones tied up for a while. You see, I took that huge container out back, you know.. the one the army left after testing a while back, and in it, I put more buttons. Only one has the log sheet, but I added a few decoys in for good measure.
You elflings really made the holiday season more fun. I chuckled watching your antics and yes, I knew where you were all the time, after all, safety is key and who knows, I might send more elves who need a team building day to make the trip to Maryland and let them cache as well.
Well done elflings, for that wonderful diversion, you get an extra day off, and sundaes for your group as a reward.
